Montezuma or MocTezuma was the 5th Aztec emperor. His father was the 2nd Aztec king. He was born in 1398 and died in 1469.His first name, pronounced [moteːkʷˈsoːma] in Classical Nahuatl, means "he frowns like a lord".

Montezuma was a ruler of the Aztec. The conquistadors Hernando Cortes captured Montezuma for about 2 months. The Aztec people said the Spanish killed them but the Spanish said it was the Aztec people who threw rocks and it hit his head and he died a couple of hours later. No one from this day knows who killed Montezuma. Moctezuma which is the correct name, was the eleventh Huey Tlatoani, he was a military and religious leader of te Mexicans, not aztecs, which is a wrong name, he invited the spanish to his palace, he was taken prisor in his own palace, and later died for unknown reasons.
