K'inich B'aaknal Chaak
K'inich B'aaknal Chaak was the ruler of the Maya city of Toniná, in Chiapas, Mexico, from 688 into the early 8th century. He waged repeated wars against the rival kingdom of Palenque, recording victories and captives on carved monuments, and his reign and those of his immediate successors marked the height of Toniná's power, culminating in the capture of Palenque's king K'an Joy Chitam II in 711.
