Question
(15) Historians believe that
Moctezuma II gave the headdress with a
group of other presents to Hernan Cortes,
an explorer who led the army that
defeated the Aztec. (16) Most likely,
Cortes later sent the headdress to
Europe. (17) In the late 1500s, an
Austrian count somehow acquired the
headdress and listed it in an inventory of
items. (18) After the count died, the
headdress remained in Austria, where it
remains today. (19) The headdress is still
in Austria.
(20) As time went on, historians
began to question if the headdress had
even belonged to Moctezuma II.
(21) Aztec emperors usually wore gold
crowns rather than feather headdresses.
