Early Life
Yaxun B’alam was the son of Itzamnaaj B'alam and Lady Eveningstar. Lady Eveningstar was not the first wife of Itzamnaaj B'alam and was from Calakmul.
As Bird Jaguar was not the son of Lady Xoc (Itzamnaaj B'alam's first wife-aunt), he was not completely of the royal blood and would have difficulty acquiring the throne. Itzamnaaj B'alam commissioned a stele to be carved showing both Yaxun B'alam and Lady Xoc in the same panel, thus legitimating Yaxun.
