BATTCOCK, Clementina. Chimalpahin, His Upbringing and His News about the presence of the Catholic Church in Chalco Amaquemecan, XVI-XVII centuries. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2019, n.157, pp.71-85.  Epub 28-Fev-2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.157.2019.35.

The present paper delves into the information about the process of evangelization contained in the works of Domingo de San Antón Muñón Chimalpahin Cuauhtlehuanitzin -his Journal and his Relations- in the light of the author’s background and upbringing. Because of his status as a nobleman raised by the Catholic Church, Chimalpahin tried to insert the past of the Chalcas into the great scheme of the history of salvation. Hence the importance of approaching his formative stage and the analysis of their social relations.
