The Tlaxcaltecas were brave warriors, so they decided to declare the war to the Aztecs. Iztaccíhuatl was the daughter of the Tlaxcaltecas´ leader and was in love with Popocatépetl, a strong man. Popocatépetl wanted to marry Iztaccíhuatl so he made a treat with her father. He was going to fight in the war and if he returned alive he would have the permission to marry Iztaccíhuatl. Time passed, an evil man told Iztaccíhuatl that Popocatépetl had died at war... she was very sad. The war ended and Popocatépetl came back, the people told him that Iztaccíhuatl died of sadness.
