A cornerstone of the evangelization of early New Spain was the conversion of Nahua boys, especially the children of elites. They were to be emissaries between Nahua society and foreign missionaries, hastening the transmission of the gospel.

For three boys from Tlaxcala, the reprisals were just as deadly.In Child
