From there he went on to the Province of Chinchaycocha and 

 Bombon, very cold country, which he brought under his sway with 

 ease. The marriage ceremony in this tribe was merely a kiss which 

 the bridegroom imprinted on the bride's forehead. On his return 

 he conquered the Province of Los Chocorvos ; they were very warlike 

 and he had several encounters with them before he brought them 

 to submission. 



1556. This is the province in which the city of Castrovirreina was 

 founded, the silver-mine center. He subdued the Province of Ancara, 

 and then spent 3 years in a personal inspection of his Kingdoms, 

 to see that the governors were comporting themselves properly and 

 not oppressing his vassals. Then he left his court for the N. and 

 after traveling over 150 leagues subdued the Provinces of Huamalies, 

 Pinco, Huari, Piscobamba, Cajatambo, and Huailas, where he burned 

 some sodomites who lived there, so that the penalty might cause 

 reform and bring discretion. Then he went on to the great Province 

 of Conchucos ; this is rough country and the Corongos and Pallascas 

 Indians were very warlike, so it cost him much effort to subdue them. 

 Then he went on to the Province of Huamachuco, and the good 

 Cacique Huamachuco came out with his Indians to receive him 

 peacefully. Farther on, he subdued the large and warlike Province 

 of Cajamarca and those of Cuzmango, Simball, and Niepos and 

 Chongos, and having made all these provinces acknowledge his rule, 

 on his return to his court he brought the Provinces of Canta and 

 Yauyos under his sway. He was received with great joy at his court, 

 where he passed several years absorbed in the government of his 

 Kingdoms and his vassals ; he rested from his wars and he added 

 other grand structures to his imperial city. 



1557. He made his third campaign in the valleys over toward 

 Chinchasuio, having sent Prince Yinga Yupangui his son ahead with 

 a great army ; he subdued the lea and Pisco Valleys ; in the great 

 Chincha Valley the natives were very warlike ; their king was named 

 Chincha ; he made a valiant defense in many battles but was finally 

 defeated by the Incas. Here he put up a sumptuous temple to the 

 Sun ; and his father King Pachacutec having sent him reinforcements, 

 he subdued the Lunahuana valleys and the great Guarco Valley, 

 which is where the town of Canete stands today ; and Chilca and 

 Mala, which belonged to the powerful and warlike King Chuqui- 

 mango, on those plains, so that cost many years of war ; the Incas 

 established another city there, calling it Cuzco, until they brought 

 them to submission ; and as a trophy for this victory, the Inca built 

 by the waterside a famous fortress, and other remarkable edifices.
