Ah Mekat Tutul Xiu

Ah Mekat Tutul Xiu established an alliance between Uxmal, Chichen Itza and Mayapan in the span of thirteen years (987–1007 AD). He founded The League of Mayapan, a confederation between the Maya in Yucatan. Other then the three capitals it included the manors of Izamal, Tulum, Ichpatún, The Cocom and others. This alliance existed from 987 to 1461. In 1194 the Itzás for the second time abandoned Chichén Itzá to settle in the Petén. Later Hunac Ceel would separate the Itz from the rest of the League.[1]
