Ecatepec was first held by Cortés, who in 1527 granted it in perpetuity to Leonor, a daughter of the emperor Moctezuma. Leonor married the conquistador Juan Paz, and after his death married another Spaniard, Cristóbal de Valderrama, who died in 1537. The mestiza daughter of this last matrimony, Leonor de Valderrama y Moctezuma, also married a Spaniard, Diego Arias de Sotelo, who appears as encomendero until 1568, when he was exiled from New Spain. His son by Leonor, Fernando Sotelo de Moctezuma, was sole encomendero until 1593, when he relinquished a third of the tribute to a brother, Cristóbal de Sotelo Valderrama. Cristóbal died in 1607, and the sons of Fernando sold their two-thirds of the encomienda in 1618, but the tributes continued to be distributed among a maze of encomenderos until the end of the colonial period. Until 1531 Tizayuca and Zapotlan (cf. Pachuca) belonged to this encomienda. Certain places originally subject to Tlatelolco (Acalhuacan, Coatitlan, Tolpetlac) became sub-cabeceras here, as did Coacalco (Gibson, 1964, pp. 74-5, 418-20) |
