The 1572 Spanish raid into the Vilcabamba region of present-day Peru, resulting in the capture and execution of the last Inca, Tupac Amaru, marks a unique moment in Andean history. The Spaniards had ...successfully invaded the Andes forty years earlier, but the Vilcabamba region remained as the final bastion of indigenous resistance against European hegemony. Manco Inca, who first aided the Spaniards in occupying the imperial capital, Cuzco, and then rebelled against them, established a stump state in this mountainous region while he attempted to regain control of the realm. After Manco Inca’s death, his sons (Sayri Tupac, Titu Cusi
For most students of Inca studies, the history of the Vilcabamba region ends with the 1572 Spanish-led raid into the region and the subsequent capture and execution of the Inca ruler Tupac Amaru. In ...contrast, this chapter examines the Spanish colonization of the Vilcabamba region from 1572 to 1600. To discuss this period, we focus largely on the life of Martín Hurtado de Arbieto, who was named governor of Vilcabamba by Viceroy Francisco de Toledo. Hurtado de Arbieto’s major achievement as governor of Vilcabamba was the founding of the town of San Francisco de la Victoria de Vilcabamba. However, his
Sometime around 1596 Antonio Bautista de Salazar wrote a history of Spanish activities in Peru. Like so many of the colonial chroniclers of Peru, Bautista de Salazar began his work with the arrival ...of Francisco Pizarro in Cajamarca and continued the narrative until his own times. While much of his chronicle has been lost, two parts—the first detailing the activities of Viceroy Francisco de Toledo (from 1569–1581) and the second discussing the actions of Viceroy García Hurtado de Mendoza (from 1590 to 1596)—have survived in the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid. Bautista de Salazar was especially knowledgeable of
Little is known concerning the life of Baltasar de Ocampo Conejeros. Apparently a man of limited means and few political connections, he emerges from virtual obscurity in 1611 as an elderly, ...impoverished Spaniard living in Lima, Peru. Having fallen on hard times, Ocampo writes a history of the Vilcabamba region for Viceroy Juan de Mendoza y Luna in the hope that this act, combined with his long service to the crown, will merit royal support in his final years.¹ While it is not known if the history persuaded the viceroy to grant Ocampo any favors, his efforts have provided future
The Mercedarian priest Martín de Murúa lived much of his life in Peru. He is best known for writing two illustrated works on the history of the Incas and the Spanish invasion of Peru (Ossio 2008a, ...2008b).¹ The first of these works, Murúa (ca. 1590 2004) dates to between 1590 and 1598, a period when Murúa was living in the Peruvian highlands.² The manuscript, titledThe History of the Origin and Royal Genealogy of the Inca Kings of Peru(Historia del origen y genealogía real de los reyes Inças del Peru), is relatively short, but it contains over 100 illustrations.
In 1571 the leader of the collapsing Inca state, Titu Cusi Yupanqui, died suddenly while in the remote town of Vitcos.¹ Protected deep within Inca-controlled territory, Titu Cusi Yupanqui had been ...healthy the day before his death and took part in a religious celebration. But as the evening wore on, the Inca grew sick and by the next morning he was dead. His loyalists suspected poisoning and detained the two foreigners who were near Vitcos: Diego Ortiz and Martín Pando. Ortiz was an Augustinian priest who had been evangelizing in the Vilcabamba region for about three years while Pando was
