i8 THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY Cans with the East priest Bol Ay and the East priest Xib Chac, the three victims who were sacrificed at Izamal. (274) It ended with the crime of Y etel Chac Bol Ai Y etel Chac Xib Chac Ox num Ti ya* U pixan T an u mansic u num yail Uai Itzmal Tabtab i T u men u keban Y ahau Can Ul e* With the East priest Bol Ay And the East priest Xib Chac: The three victims 270 In pain Whose souls Underwent suffering Here At Izamal, 275 All tied up then Because of the sin Of the lord Who was Can Ul. 270. Barrera 1948: 224 has 'great was the suffering'. 278. Can Ul 'snake snail', a lord of Izamal and a member of the Can lineage on his mother's side and the Ul lineage on his father's, hence a relative of the Cans of Izamal and Chichen Itza, including Kukul Can. The squabble here was significantly dynastic. With patrilineal succession and lineage exogamy, the successor to Ul Ahau should have been an Ahau, but none appears in this account. Can Ul's claim to patrilineal legitimacy rests on what may have been an incestuous union. The closest kinship relations between him and Ul Ahau would reconstruct as: d=Q cf - U1 UlAhau UlAhau [3] d=Qd'=Q fr=Q + UIU1 Can Ahau U1U1 ni ni Can ' Ahau Can Ahau Ul- + |Can) Ahau cr (f UlAhau[2\ CANUL UlAhau\\\ A legitimate series of marriages could have made Can Ul the father's sister's son of the retiring lord, Ul Ahau (1). If preferential cross-cousin marriage obtained (Eggan 1934), Can Ul's mother's brother might have married his father's sister, producing a relationship through his father, as the text claims, to Ul Ahau (2). Such a relationship would be either too close (incestuous) or too distant to warrant succession: Can Ul's father and his father's sister would have to be Ul Uls. As the retiring lord was presumably, older, it is also possible that Ul Ahau (3) was the brother of Can Ul's paternal grandmother who married incestuously. All the Cans could be as close as half brothers, sons, or grandsons to one another and, given polygyny, some of them very likely were. Any one of them could have been Can Ul's father's sister's son, but not if Can Ul had any close relationship to Ul Ahau. Finally, one of them, Ahau Can, could have been Ul Ahau's mother's brother's son or sister's son's son without incest. The genealogy of this would have been: Cf=Q d"= -Can 9 UlAhau p*=9 cf=¿ -Ul " han T til r-„ < r .

Can Ul, dividing the heirs of Hapay Can. And Kukul Can found out and killed and tortured the nobles and did in the Hapay Cans for the sin of their lord. Itzam Can was named designate; then came the usurpation of Can Ul. Ahau Can was the candidate with the Chichens. Who was Can Uli He was announced as lord in his final office by inheritance from his father. It was another triumph for the orders of Ants, EIGHT AHAU 19 Lei tah mehen* Hapai Can la e Ca natab i T u men Kukul Can e Ca xot i Ucal Uyiob U y ub ob T u lacal y al U mehen C u pactic U luk Hapai Caan Lei ah cuch teob U cuchah u keban y ahau ob* Ca tun hopp i U tumtic Itzam Caan* Ca tal y ocol U keban y ahau Can Ul Ca hok i Ahau Caan T u Chi Ch'enob Uai Max Can Ul?* T u chican e* Ti hok i Ahau i Ox lahun te u cuch Ca sihsab i T u men u yum Lai hun ppel cu* Yubil Sink Balamil This was the division of the sons 280 Of Hapay Can. Then it was understood By Kukul Can. Then were cut The throats, 285 The eyes, The ears Of all the born And engendered children. Then he folded 290 The removal of the Hapay Cans, Who were made to be the bearers, And bore the sin of their lord. And then began The renewal of Itzam Can. 295 Then came stealing, The sin of the lord Can Ul. Then appeared Ahau Can With the Chichens 300 Here. Who Was Can Ul? He was manifested then And appeared 305 As lord, His thirteenth burden, To which he was engendered Through his father. This was one more seat 310 And mantle Of the Ants And Jaguars, (note continued from preceding page) Both Can Ul and Ahau Can could have had a claim to patrilineal succession through their fathers' mothers, who could well have been sisters of Ul Ahau, but Ahau Can's grandmother neglected to marry incestuously. Presumably Can Ul went to better schools. 279. Barrera 1948: 224 reads tah as 'tribute'. 292. The text makes no distinction between the plural -ob and the third person plural pronoun ob or between the possessive use of the pronoun and its use as subject or object of a verb. I have made the first distinction where possible by treating the plural as an attached suffix and the pronoun as a separate word. It makes a difference, as in this case: u keban y ahauob 'the sin of the lords' or u keban y ahau ob 'the sin of their lord'. See also line 5160. 294. Barrera 1948: 224 has 'test'. 302. Barrera 1948: 224 sees this as a place-name: Maxcanu 'guardian monkey'. 303. Barrera 1948: 224 says 'at the beginning of the mountains'. 309. Barrera 1948: 225 has it as 'but he was valiant in war and had the Wooden Mask of the Breath Squeezer and was Flint Powerful'.
