Abstract

In the work of Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, the figure of Nezahualcoyotl has been studied by different authors who have pointed out the Alva's interest in exalting the image of his ancestor for his personal and political benefit. In this sense, the present work aims to indicate the possible models used by Alva Ixtlilxochitl to construct the king of Texcoco. It is proposed that one of the models is the epic hero, in the figure of the vassal that the Cid represents in his epic poem, as well as the hero of the books of chivalry, where the prototypical example is found in the character of Amadis. Therefore, by analyzing the models, it will be observed how Alva Ixtlilxochitl's Nezahualcoyotl is based on both traditions to create the figure of one of the first Hispanic American heroes.
