Fray Sahagun was a friar who arrived in Mexico two years after the Aztec capital had been destroyed.

Spain had attempted to destroy the entire written history of the Aztecs and those who came before them. Sahagun defied this ban to try to reconstruct the history, thus titling his book “The Forbidden Histories”.
