Summary
It must have come as an incredible shock. Despite the forebodings of Tenochtitlan’s supreme ruler, Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin, the strange-looking people with their odd and intimidating animals and unusual, powerful weapons marched along the causeway and into their sacred and impregnable city. Not only that, throngs of enemy Tlaxcallans marched right in too! Something was terribly wrong.
