Spaniards, who captured him in his home country, just as he had 

 his brother. (This was not without the command of Heaven, in 

 return for the cruel death he had ordered inflicted on those of the 

 blood royal, and many other servants of his King, and on the people 

 in the villages founded by the great Mango Capac in a 5-league circuit 

 round about the imperial city of Cuzco, who were servants of the 

 royal house). The Spaniards drew up a charge against him, and 

 he was sentenced to death ; but he was fortunate in having become 

 a Christian and having received the water of Holy Baptism. Later 

 he was publicly beheaded in the plaza, in March 1532. This was 

 Divine justice, for in its execution these few Spaniards took him 

 captive when he had with him more than 70,000 warriors and also 

 many lords and caciques who accompanied him, and over 30,000 

 Indians in his service.

Of Some of Those of the Blood Royal Who Escaped the Cruel 

 Tyranny of Atahualpa and His Ministers. 



1589. Those of the blood royal who escaped the cruel murderous 

 tyranny dealt out by the rebel ministers of the cruel Atahualpa, 

 were three sons and two daughters of King Huayna Capac : the first 

 and eldest was Paullu, son of Huayna Capac and of Anascolque, 

 daughter of Guacapille Apu, chief lord of the Province of Huailas, 

 who was lawfully married according to the heathen rite to King 

 Huayna Capac, twelfth emperor of the Incas ; Titu Inca and Mango 

 Capac, legitimate sons of Huayna Capac. Two Nustas escaped also — 

 the word means Princess Royal ; they were likewise legitimate chil- 

 dren, and after their baptism were christened, the one Dona Beatriz 

 Coya and the other Doiia Leonor. Doiia Beatriz married a Spanish 

 gentleman by the name of Martin de Bustinza, who was a Govern- 

 ment Paymaster (Contador) in that Kingdom; they had three sons 

 named Bustinzas, and another named Juan Sierra de Leguizamon ; 

 they have a few descendants. 



1590. Dofia Leonor, daughter of King LIuayna Capac, was twice 

 married to Spaniards ; her first husband was Juan Balsa, one of the 

 original pioneers ; they had a son by the same name, and he has 

 descendants today. After the death of Juan Balsa, she married as 

 her second husband another gentleman by the name of Villacastin ; 

 they likewise left several children. Prince or Infante Hualpa Tupac, 

 legitimate brother of King Huayna Capac, also left a daughter, 

 mother of the Inca Garcilaso, who wrote the "Royal Commentaries"
