| Chan Bahlum died in 702 (9.13.10.1.5), and his younger brother, Kan Xul II, then 57 years old, succeeded him 53 days later. During the reign of Kan Xul II, Palenque's realm appears to have reached its maximum extent. Early in his reign, he ordered that Temple 14 be built on the northwest corner of his brother's great triadic temple complex. | ||
