The dynasty was founded by Hunac Ceel, and was overthrown sometime between 1440 and 1441 by Ah Xupan of the Xiu lineage.{{cite book|last=Hassig|first=Ross|title=War and Society in Ancient Mesoamerica|year=1992|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-07734-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0X3TExVt0EYC&q=Ah+Xupan+Xiu&pg=PA157|page=157}}
