Battle of Taximaroa (1478–79)
On the Norse and Aztecs map as “Taximaroa — the Tarascan frontier”
c. 1478–79 — Near this Tarascan frontier stronghold the army of the Tarascan kingdom destroyed a Mexica invasion under Axayacatl, the empire’s worst defeat before 1519. Fortified frontiers faced each other afterwards, and the Tarascans never joined the Mexica against Spain.
