English: Folio 69r from the w:en:Codex Mendoza. Perhaps continuing the theme of imperial justice from fol. 68r(3), this page shows a schematic plan of the palace of the last emperor, Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin ("Angry Lord", "The Younger'). The emperor sits, in audience and to judge, in his personal quarters, the 'Ruler’s House' (Tlatocacalli). He is the only figure in Codex Mendoza to be portrayed with a beard (corroborated by a Spanish source). On either side of the Ruler’s House are guest houses to accommodate the rulers of allied city-states. They look out onto an extensive courtyard. The steps at the centre seem to lead down to ground level. On the left is the ‘Council Hall of War’ (warriors’ house) and on the right ‘Montezuma’s Council Hall’ in which sit his four appeal-judges; seated below them are four litigants, two men perhaps being accused by two women, whilst another man walks away.
