History:
The 10th century marked the emergence of Mixtec kingdoms, called “señorios” by the Spanish. The señorios were founded on marriage and political alliances which led to the formation of dynasties. Señorios were hierarchical in structure and included classes of greater and lesser nobles, artisans and peasants. The first reference to Mixtec dynasties appear in the codexes from the 10th century. One of the greatest of the Mixtec dynasties was the Tilantongo dynasty, established upon the marriage of two nobles in the holy Mixtec city of Tilantongo in 990CE. The Tilantongo dynasty ruled until the 17th century. One of its most illustrious descendants was 8 Deer. Several of the codexes tell his story. He became lord of both Tilantongo, in the Mixteca Alta and Tututepec, on the coast, locations separated by a distance of 200 kilometers. He is hailed for having united the entire Mixteca region through battle, alliances and palace intrigues. In the latter half of the 15th century, the Aztecs (more accurately, the Culhua-Mexica), inhabitants of the valley surrounding modern Mexico City, began their conquests of the Oaxacan peoples. Their main interest lay in obliging the Oaxacans to pay tribute; they were not much interested in either occupation or cultural dominance. When the Spanish arrived in 16th century, they found the Mixtec señorios generally intact. The Spanish were very attracted to the region, productive and rich as it was in resources. Spanish clergy and merchants settled in important, existing Mixtec centers. Despite the Iberian dominance, native Mixtec institutions, religious beliefs and practices as well as their language managed to survive alongside those transplanted by the Spanish.
