Famine of One Rabbit (1450–54)
On the Norse and Aztecs map as “The famine of One Rabbit”
1450–54 — Frosts, floods and then drought ruined harvests across the basin. In the worst year, One Rabbit (1454), families sold themselves or their children to the Totonacs of the Gulf coast for maize, and Moctezuma I opened the royal granaries.
