Family

Moctezuma I was both cousin and husband of Chichimecacihuatzin

Chichimecacihuatzin was a daughter of King Cuauhtototzin, granddaughter of King Tezcacohuatzin, niece of Queen Miahuaxihuitl and cousin-wife of Emperor Moctezuma I.[2][3] She had at least one child with him, Princess Atotoztli II.[3][4] It is likely she had another daughter, Chichimecacihuatzin II.

It is possible that her sons were Princes Iquehuacatzin and Mahchimaleh.
