That's literally the title of the book. I don't like how they spell Moctezuma's name either, but it's a great book. When Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting that Changed History
> The only weird thing is why they allowed the Tlaxcallans to enter the city with the Spaniards. Any theory on that one?
There are many theories and competing narratives, even close to the date it happened. Native sources disagree and are often biased—and of course we can't trust Cortez's account because it has been pretty overwhelmingly debunked, even in his own time by folks like Bartolome de Las Casas.
The fact is we don't really know exactly why, but all of the theories are discussed in a highly recommended book: Matthew Restall's When Montezuma Met Cortés: The True Story of the Meeting that Changed History.
