Yajaw Te' K'inich I

Yajaw Te' K'inich I was a Mayan king (ajaw) of Caracol in Belize.

Life

He was probably a son of K'ahk' Ujol K'inich I and Lady of Xultun (she was maybe a wife of latter king).

Whereas his predecessors are known only from retrospective texts, this ruler's monuments record a contemporaneous date in AD 487.

His monuments are stelae 13 and 20? and altar 4.

His son was K'an I and his grandson was Yajaw Te' K'inich II.
