Biography
Political Biography
In 499, he captured a certain commander of the kingdom of Ake (the kingdom of Bonampaka ) [1] .
Around the year 505, the third (in the whole history of Pachan) war broke out with Yokib, Hoi-Balam I captured the “dreamer” of the Yokib king [1] .
In the summer of 508, Khoi-Balam I captured Ah-Balam, “a man of the clan” of the Mutul king Chak-Tok-Ichaak III (who died 15 days before) [1] . Mutul at that time was on the side of Yokib in the conflict between Pachan and Yokib [2] . Then he defeated Yokib too [3] .
After these events, Pachan developed a strong coalition of troops: Pachan, Ake and Wabe. However, then, judging by panel 12 from Piedras Negras, installed in 518, Yokib managed to defeat Pachan (probably with the support of the “Western Kalomte Tahom-Ukab-Tuna”) [3] . The panel depicts three captives of King Yokib, among them Khoi-Balam I. According to a number of scholars, this image means that Khoi-Balam and two other kings were captured [2] [4] . However, according to David Stewart, based on the fact that Hoi-Balam and King Lakamtuna Chan-Ak (another king from the image) continued to rule after 518, this image is primarily symbolic and means only Yokib’s victory, but not the capture of Hoi -Balama captured [5] .
Contribution to Yashchilan Architecture
On October 18, 514, Hoi-Balam I established Stela 27, which is the earliest known monument of Yashchilan at the moment. Khoi-Balam is depicted on a stele, his clothing stands out on the back of the stele, a belt- shaped ornament in the shape of a human head, which is a portrait of his father, Yashun-Balam II . The stele was once damaged, but then restored (judging by the style of corrections, the reconstruction of the stele was made during the reign of Yashun-Balam IV ) [6] .
