Montezuma's Revenge is the colloquial term for any episodes of travelers' diarrhea or other sicknesses contracted by tourists visiting Mexico. The name humorously refers to Moctezuma II (1466-1520), the Tlatoani (ruler) of the Aztec civilization who was defeated by Hernán Cortés the Spanish conquistador.

^ Montezumas revenge (diarrhea) is what you get when you go to Mexico you can get it from eating some of the food and drinking the water.
When I went to Mexico I was told not to eat anything raw, like fruits and vegetables and be careful where you get your water, bottled was safe, at least in Cancun.
I made sure everything I ate was cooked and I was probably the only one who carried a flask of water from the hotel, their water was safe to drink and I'm happy to say Montezuma didn't get revenge on me.

Montezuma's Revenge is the U.S. equivalent, and reflects on the fewer than hygienic nutrition purveyors south of the border. Oh... and to respond to the 1st portion of your question... Montezuma replaced into the call given to a pair of Aztec chiefs. And subsequently, in specific the only in touch with the Conquistadors and the Spanish invasion.
