Diego Muñoz Camargo's Historia de Tlaxcala (late sixteenth century)

A chronicle of the Tlaxcalan republic written in Tlaxcala by Diego Muñoz Camargo, a mestizo interpreter of the second generation. He tells the succession of the four cabeceras of the confederation and the moment Cortés entered them — the story of the Spanish–Tlaxcalan alliance from the side that made it and outlived it — and prints the names, lineages and boundaries that later Tlaxcalan lawsuits before the crown would cite. Every line is a witness's and a partisan's, and the sheets say so.
