80. The two sons of the king were already distinguished. Tatayac
was the name of the one, Ah Itza the name of the other. Chituy and
Quehnay were the two sons of these princes. These took the part of
the Quiches, and the king was thus opposed to his own sons, who
incited the people not to pay their dues, already irritated on
account of their subjection; and thus it came that the king was
against his own sons. Thus Tatayac and Ahitza were opposed to their
father, for they coveted the royal power, and desired the precious
stones, the metals, the slaves and people of their father. At this
time there was a council of the Quiches against the warriors
maintained by the king, and they began to put to death all those of
the first rank in the royal service.
