| '''Itzamnaaj B'alam''' (born in 1788, died in 1863) was a [[Mutul|Mutulese]] noble of {{wp|Achi people|Achi}} origin from the prestigious Achipop lineage. He married [[Ilok'tab Dynasty|Lady Ik'skull]] in 1814, becoming King Consort after the death of Ik'skull littler brother [[Ilok'tab Dynasty|Wahlam B'alam VI]]. He fled the [[K'alak Muul]] with his son, [[Ilok'tab Dynasty|B'alijaj Chan K'awiil II]], in 1828 following the murder of his wife. He found refuge in {{wp|Q'umarkaj|K'umakaj}} where he crowned his son [[Divine Monarchy of the Mutul|K'uhul Ajaw]] and became his Regent before leading the war against the [[Noble Republic of Northern Oxidentale]] during what is known as the [[Sajal War]]. After the civil war, he remained his son regent and became the {{wp|head of government}} of the [[Mutul]], leading a series of administrative and constitutional changes known as the [[Itzamnaaj Reforms]]. The '''Yax Tz’ibich Chaakal Chakun''', published in 1844, remain to this day the de-facto constitution of the [[Mutul|Divine Kingdom]]. At the height of his power, Itzamnaaj B'alam cumulated the positions of Regent, First K'awiil (''Prime Minister''), and of Commander-in-Chief of the [[Mutulese Army]].
| | In 811, [[Gerza I]] died. Two of his sons had survived to adulthood and shared their father's inheritance. The second born, [[Worsak]], received no land but enough men and cattles to survive. But rather than continue his people's migration, he chose to settle in the Drev river valley. To win the local {{wp|Western slavic languages|Ludz}} communities to his side, he converted to {{wp|Eastern Orthodox Church|Christianity}}. |
| | |
| When his regency ended, he stepped down from all his political positions and spent the rest of his life in his residence of [[Chak'ak Witz]]. He would become the {{wp|Mayan priesthood|Aj k'in}} of the small town and continued to preside over certain religious rituals, regularly coming back to [[K'alak Muul]] to perform the Cult of the Ancestor with his son in the Royal Necropolis. Beyond his religious role, he also wrote a collection of poems and remained an avid patron of the arts. He died in 1863 and was buried in the Three Smilodons Mausoleums, in K'umakaj, the Mausoleum his son had built for his parents and where he would himself be buried 39 years later.
