Reigning at a time when Tikal had already declined as a regional and political power, Jasaw Chan Kʼawiil is Tikal's last-known ruler identifiable from extant inscriptions.^[1] His only known monument is a stela and its accompanying altar, with an inscription bearing the latest date of any yet recovered and deciphered in Tikal. Labelled as Stela 11, the monument is the only one from the Terminal Classic period found at Tikal, and contains a Mesoamerican Long Count calendar date of 10.2.0.0.0 3 Ajaw 3 Kej, correlating to August 15, 869 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.^{[1][N 2]}
