46. Montezuma II
Montezuma II was an Aztec emperor with the cojones to stand up to Hernan Cortes, a Spanish conquistador who wanted to capture the land in Mexico. He managed to expand the Aztec empire from Honduras all the way to Nicaragua, but his subjects had problems with his demands for tribute. However, a Spanish soldier described him as being of a good height and quite slender, with a cheerful face that had a scanty black beard. Unfortunately, there are no accurate artistic images of Montezuma II from the Aztec perspective.
