| Additional information |
Otilio Montaño was the schoolteacher who drafted the Plan de Ayala in November 1911 — the foundational Zapatista document demanding agrarian reform and denouncing Madero's betrayal of the revolution. He wrote it in a single night in the town of Ayoxustla, Puebla, with Emiliano Zapata signing it the following day. Montaño was later executed in 1917 on Zapata's own orders, accused of conspiracy, a verdict most historians now consider politically motivated and almost certainly unjust.
