Beleheb Tz'i
Beleheb Tz'i was one of the leading kings of the K'iche' Maya kingdom in highland Guatemala at the time of the Spanish conquest. After defeating the K'iche' near Quetzaltenango in 1524, Pedro de Alvarado accused Beleheb Tz'i and Oxib Keh of plotting against him and had them burnt alive at their capital, Q'umarkaj, which the Spanish then destroyed.
