| Calakmul and Quiriguxc3xa1[edit] | WIKI |
| [58] Wamaw K'awiil is named at Quiriguxc3xa1 on the southern periphery of Mesoamerica. | WIKI |
| [58] Quiriguxc3xa1 traditionally had been a vassal of its southern neighbour Copxc3xa1n, and in 724 Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, king of Copxc3xa1n, installed K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat upon Quiriguxc3xa1's throne as his vassal. | WIKI |
| [59] By 734 K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat had shown that he was no longer an obedient subordinate of Copxc3xa1n when he started to refer to himself as k'ul ahaw, holy lord, instead of using the lesser term ahaw, subordinate lord; at the same time he began to use his own Quiriguxc3xa1 emblem glyph. | WIKI |
| The timing of this visit by the king of Calakmul is highly significant, falling between the accession of K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat to the throne of Quiriguxc3xa1 as a vassal of Copxc3xa1n and the outright rebellion that was to follow. | WIKI |
| This strongly suggests that Calakmul sponsored Quiriguxc3xa1's rebellion in order to weaken Tikal and to gain access to the rich trade route of the Motagua Valley. | WIKI |
| [63] An inscription at Quiriguxc3xa1, although difficult to interpret, suggests that the capture took place on 27 April 738, when Quiriguxc3xa1 seized and burned the wooden images of Copxc3xa1n's patron deities. | WIKI |
| [64] The captured lord was taken back to Quiriguxc3xa1 and on 3 May 738 he was decapitated in a public ritual. | WIKI |
| The fact that Copxc3xa1n, a much more powerful city than Quiriguxc3xa1, failed to retaliate against its former vassal implies that it feared the military intervention of Calakmul. | WIKI |
| Calakmul itself was far enough away from Quiriguxc3xa1 that K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat was not afraid of falling directly under its power as a full vassal state, even though it is likely that Calakmul sent warriors to help in the defeat of Copxc3xa1n. | WIKI |
| The alliance instead seems to have been one of mutual advantage: Calakmul managed to weaken a powerful ally of Tikal while Quiriguxc3xa1 gained its independence. | WIKI |
