The most important of these were the tlatoani (rulers), warriors, nobility, and the high priests and priestesses. The lesser classes were composed of the free poor, slaves, servants, and the middle class. A succession of less than a dozen rulers carried the Aztec people through from obscurity to empire-builders.
