250 children, legitimate and out of wedlock ; he was mourned by all 

 his Kingdoms, and set in the Temple of the Sun with his forebears ; 

 they offered sacrifices to him there as to a god, so reverently was 

 he respected and canonized by his subjects as a saint. 



Chap. Of Tupac Inca Yupangui, Eleventh King. 



1563. Tupac Inca Yupangui, eleventh king of the Incas, succeeded 

 his father Inca Yupangui in the reign ; and when they had paid him 

 the last honors and the whole Kingdom had lamented him for an 

 entire year, which was their custom, he at once assumed the red 

 tassel in token of possession, and spent 4 years in personal inspection 

 of his realms. Then he raised a large army and went with it to 

 Cajamarca, from which point he set out to subdue the Provinces 

 of Huacrachuco, Chachapoyas, and those which it comprises, viz, 

 Pias, Cunturmarca, Cajamarquilla del Collay, where they get quan- 

 tities of gold, Papamarca, so named for the great amount of potatoes 

 (papas) raised in that district, Raymi Pampa, Suta, Levanto, Luya, 

 Chillaos, Pracamurus, Muyubamba, Cascayunca, and others. These 

 were hard to subdue, the country being very rough and the Indians 

 brave, defending their country with courage ; they wore as insignia 

 slings around their heads, like garlands. He conquered and subdued 

 them after many battles which he won over them, and left them 

 peaceful ; he set governors over them to inculcate his laws and cus- 

 toms and govern them in perfect peace. Then he returned to Caja- 

 marca, and went on from there to the Province of Los Chongos, 

 which borders on Los Huancabambas and Cascayunca. 



1564. The inhabitants of the great Province of Huancabamba 

 were very bestial and obtuse ; they had no form of government and 

 ate human flesh. He subdued them, made villages for them, gave 

 them laws, and forbade under heavy penalties the eating of human 

 flesh. From this province he went on to those of Cajas and Aya 

 Huacac and Los Calvas, which he conquered and brought under 

 his sway. He left there some of his Incas to govern them and teach 

 them their manner of life according to law and ordered government, 

 and then returned to his court, where he was received with great 

 festivities and rejoicing. After devoting several years to the wise 

 administration of his Kingdoms and vassals, he put 20,000 Indians 

 to work on the fortifications of Cuzco and its walls ; leaving that 

 in charge of his ministers, and having conferred many honors and 

 rewards on his vassals, he got together a large army for the conquest 

 of the Provinces of Huanuco and those adjoining.
