TEPANCALTZIN (tay-pan-cal-tseen'), Mexican king, died in 1103. He was the ninth monarch of Tollan, becoming the successor on the throne of Queen Xiutlatzin in 1042. During his reign the national beverage of "pulque," prepared from the fermented sap of the maguey-plant, was discovered by the Princess Xochitl, whom he afterward married. His son and successor was TOPILTZIN, to whom he ceded the crown in 1092, as, according to a Toltec superstition, a reign of more than fifty years would bring misfortune to the nation. Notwithstanding this change of ruler, continued drought caused famine and pestilence, followed by internal commotions. Both rulers died in a battle against the insurgents, and the kingdom remained in a state of anarchy till it was conquered by Xolotl the Great, king of the Chichimees.
