Bʼalaj Chan Kʼawiil
[1] At the age of 9 or 10, he carried out another pre-accession ritual where a royal insignia was imposed that consisted of a wide ribbon on the forehead knotted behind, occurred in Tikal.[1][2] At the age of 16, a ceremony takes place where the royal scepter is publicly displayed in Dos Pilas, which would be considered as still very young if not because his father resides in the distant Tikal.The king of Calakmul, staunch enemy of Tikal, Yuknoom Ch'een II took advantage of the circumstances to "divide and conquer"; he chose the smaller and presumably weaker of the two sides first.Finally, between 657 and 662 A.D., a pre-accession event of the heir to the Snake Kingdom occurred, Yuknoom Yich’aak K’ahk’, who was then between 8 and 13 years old; this event was witnessed by Nuun Ujol Chaak and B'ajlaj Chan K'awiil, which Guenter (2002) interprets as the "Yaxhá Agreement", which occurred in this city, in which both kings declared themselves as vassals of Yuknoom Yich'aak K'ahk'.In 662 d.C., together with the king of a place called B'ahlam, he attacked a nobleman from Kob'an , a site that some authors interpret to be in the modern city of Cobán, in the Maya highlands, much further south of Dos Pilas.A daughter of Bʼalaj Chan Kʼawiil and Lady Bulu', Wak Chanil Ajaw, left Dos Pilas to found a dynasty at Naranjo.
