carry'd thither in great State after their manner, attended by his Brother, 

 whom lllcfcas <^um\nagui which ran from Jttabaliba in the Battel, where he lay 

 in ambufli when he might have done them good fervice . in the way to his en- 

 tertainment, received with all mews of forrow ; but when they were feafted 

 to excefs, bury'd in fleep and Wine, he Maffacred and flea'd lUefcas the Kings 

 Brother alive, and made a Taber of his Skin. Whilft Jttabaliba s Funeral 



Hint* puts &izi«i Z was thus bloodily folemniz'd , his General Qutzjjui^ ra k' d a § reat Army, 

 which fi^arro encountring after a valiant refiftance , totally routed; then 

 marching vidorioufly to Cufco, he faw great Fires in the City, and the Citizens 

 fighting with, the Spaniards , fent before ; but the Horfe breaking in upon 

 them, moftofthem fled the next morning to the Mountains : Thus the Spa- 

 niards became Matters of the City, where they inflicted the moft cruel tortures 

 on all Sexes, by that means to force them to difcover, if they knew of any hid- 

 den Treafures, being not fatisfi'd with what they found there, although they 



uuvaiuabk Tr^ures had gotten a greater Treafure in Cufco than that that they had extorted from 

 Jttabaliba before : Nay, they gave thofe that were murther/d for Food to their 

 Dogs : Among the vcA^Didacips Sala^ar having a very tierce Dog calPd Be^eml, 

 had alio an old Indian Woman his Prifoner, to whom he gave a Letter to deli- 

 ver to the General fi^arro 5 the Woman had not gone many Paces before me 

 was fet upon by Bezxrril, whom Sala^ar let loofe, that he might delight himfelf 

 in feeing the Dog tear the poor old Woman ; but fhe obferving him come run- 

 ing at her with fo great fiercenefs, fell down upon her Knees,and holding forth 



Remarkable paffage of a the Letter, cry'd, Good my Lord, good my Lord Dog , Imufi carry this Letter to Gene- 

 r^/Pizarro, whereupon the furious Curr having more compaffion than the 

 Spaniard, flood ftill a little , and at laft lifted up his Leg in a fcornful manner, 

 llrin d upon her, and returned fatisfi'd ; at which fportive behavior of the Cur 

 and the Chrone, Salazar laughing, was fo well pleas'd, that he gave the Woman 



her life. 



After Cufco had been fufficiently Plunder'd, (pi^irro made Jhnagro Governor 

 thereof, with the Territories belonging to it, and built near the River Lima a 

 Town, which' they call'd Los <]{eyes. Mean while, Jhnagro received Letters 

 Patent from the Emperor , in which he was nominated Marjhal of Teru 5 en- 

 courag'd by that honor , he took a great defign in hand , for the Teruvians had 

 reported, that the Golden Chili lay to the South • and Jhnagro being encouraged, 

 and affifted by Ti^arro, March'd inqueft thereof with two Troops of Horfe, and 

 five hundred Foot : But mean while there happened fo great Rains , and fuch 

 foul Weather , that the Ways were almoft unpaflable , fo that the Expedition 

 grew very troublefome $ yet however he went on, in which hard March he loft 

 both Horfe and Men. 



Whilft Jhnagro was upon this undertaking, Francifco fi^arro received Letters 

 Patent from the Emperor, in which he was Intitul'd 'Duke of<Peru , but with a 

 Sabo for the honor before given to jhnagro • yet thefe balanc'd honors bred 

 great diflention between the Duke and Marfhal, which Mango iw^ another 

 of Jttabaliba s Brothers obferving , laid hold of the opportunity , and fetting 

 M*ng9inga takes c«fa. U p on the Spanip Garrifon in Cufco, took the City. Whereupon Ti^arro imme- 

 diately fent his Horfe thither, under the Command of Jlphonfo Jbarado, and 

 Gomes de Todoya , againft whom the Indians fought very valiantly, infomuch, 

 that the Battel was a long time' doubtful ; yet at laft the Spaniards got a bloody 

 Victory, and regained Cufco ; hither after fome time, Jhnagro returning with ill 

 fuccefs, having effected nothing, was kept out by Ferdinand "P/^no, under pre-
