Person
Ah Dzun Xiu
Ah Dzun Xiu was the lord of the Xiu lineage of Maní in northern Yucatán. In 1536 he led an embassy to make offerings at the sacred cenote of Chichen Itza, and on the way the party was murdered at Otzmal by Nachi Cocom of Sotuta. The massacre deepened the Xiu–Cocom feud and helped push the Xiu into alliance with the Spanish conquerors.
