He had many monuments.
Birth
He was born on December 29, 664. His father and mother were Itzam K'an Ahk I and Lady White Bird. He was a grandson and namesake of K'inich Yo'nal Ahk I, and his grandmother was Lady Bird Headdress.
His pre-regnal name was Kooj - "Puma". Upon his accession, he took as his regnal name that of his grandfather.
Reign
Before his accession, he married Lady K'atun Ajaw of Namaan. Their daughter was Lady Huntan Ahk.
Yo'nal Ahk displayed a proper reverence for his father by commemorating the twenty-year anniversary of his burial with a burning ritual. Like his father, he reigned for over forty years. He captured a sajal of Itzamnaaj B'alam III in 726.
It seems that Yo'nal Ahk married one more woman, possibly the one of Palenque. He must have died soon thereafter.
