Indeed the Aztecs were a bit of a surprise. I fight them every so often with my son's Tlaxcalans and have as a result learnt some of their strengths and weaknesses. However, on the day they were more resilient than I suspect anyone expected.

It has been pointed out that the English priests in the final photo are aptly pictured praying as the heathen are locked in battle.
