Chapter LXXXVHI [86] (82) 



Of Inca Yupangui, Tenth King of Cuzco, and His Successors. 



1561. The new King Inca Yupangui, tenth king of Cuzco, after 

 paying the last honors to his father and assuming the tassel, made 

 a personal inspection of his realms to see and reheve the necessities 

 of his subjects and vassals. He decided to try a difficult campaign 

 toward the E., and had many rafts made, on which he put 10,000 

 warrior Indians. These embarked on the great Rio Pilcomayo, and 

 subdued the tribe of the Chunchos, who were established on its banks. 

 Then they proceeded to the Province of Los Mojos, a country very 

 rich in gold ; there those Inca soldiers settled down and married 

 into that tribe ; later, their sons and descendants wanted to come 

 out, in the days of Huayna Capac, grandson of that king ; but when 

 they got news of the death of their king and the entry of the Span-

 Rio de Maule, where he had serious battles with those natives ; he 

 appointed governors for them, and they sent him gold, very fine 

 feathers, and other valuables. When he had governed his Kingdoms 

 in perfect peace for over 30 years, he started the fortress of Cuzco 

 on the Sacsahuaman ridge ; he inspected his Kingdoms and relieved 

 the necessities of his vassals with great attention ; he charged Prince 

 Tupac Yupangui, his son by Coya Chimpu Ocllo, his sister and wife, 

 with the observation of his laws and the kind treatment of his vassals ; 

 he enlarged his realms some 500 leagues: on the S. from Atacama 

 as far as the Rio de Maule, almost 300 leagues ; and on the N., over 

 150, from lea up to the Kingdom of Chimu. He died full of achieve- 

 ments and trophies in the year 1441, leaving besides his heir over
