Works issued by the Hakluyt Society, Second Series, Number 22a. First edition. By April 1572, the largest army seen at Cuzco since the defeat of Gonzalo Pizarro was mustered on the outskirts of the city. Its command was given to Martin Hurtado de Arbieto and Juan Alvarez Maldonado. Toledo [Francisco de] also appointed as captains his nephew Francisco de Figueroa and the captain of his personal guard Martin de Layola, a great nephew of St. Ignatious, founder of the Jesuit Order. each of Cuzco's encomenderos, in lieu of their feudal obligation to the Crown, were obliged to accompany the expedition with a contingent of their tributary Indians. . . . Toledo also ordered the conquistadors Alonso de Mesa, Hernando de Solano and Mansio Serra de Leguizaman, who had entered Vilcabamba some forty years previously, to accompany the expedition as advisers. A total of 250 Spaniards in full armor, among them the Coya Beatriz's husband Diego Hernandez and her son Pedro de Bustinza rode out of the city amid a fan fair of trumpets and beating drums. The soldier Miguel Lopez recalled their first engagement against the Inca Tupac Amaru's warriors: '. . . being as we were at the bridge of Chuquichaca we heard news that warriors were on their way to attack the royal encampment, at which time Mansio Serra [de Leguizaman] drew his arms and began to walk towards the enemy, encouraging our troops and telling them that it was all that was needed to conquer that land, and that they should march and walk with him as he was doing, and he went ahead on foot to where it was said the Indians were coming. . . ' . Thirty-eight years after the events at Vilcabamba one of the Spanish conscripts Baltasar de Ocampo wrote a description of the campaign and the capture of the Inca, and his subsequent execution at Cuzco. . . . . . . Only two Spaniards were killed. The Inca [Tupac Amaru] and other Indians were brought back to the valley . . . here Indians would be settled and a city of Spaniards founded. It was called San Francisco de la Victora de Vilcabamba . . . leaving a garrison of 50 soldiers we marched to Cuzco with the Inca Tupac Amaru and his chieftains who were prisoners. On reaching the archway of Carmenca, which is the entrance to the city of Cuzco, the general [Martin Hurtado de Arbieto] marshaled all his troops. The commander Juan Alvarez Maldonado, as adjutant, chained Tupac Amaru and his captains together. . . . Tupac Amaru was baptized. This was done by friars of Our Lady of Merced . . . the Inca was taken from the fortress through the public streets of the city with a guard of 400 Canaries armed with lances . . . he was accompanied by the priests Alonso de Baranza, of the Company of Jesus, and by Father Molina [the chronicler priest of Cuzco], one on either side of him . . . . The whole crowd of natives raised such a cry of grief that it seemed as if the day of judgment had come, and all those of Spanish race did not fail to show their feelings by shedding tears of grief and pain. When the Inca beheld the scene, he only raised his right hand on high and let it fall. With a lordly mind, he alone remained calm, and all the noise was followed by a silence so profound that no living soul moved. . . . [many] went to the viceroy [Francisco de Toledo] . They went down on their knees and besought him to show mercy and spare the life of the Inca. They urged he should be sent to Spain to be judged by the king in person. But no prayers could prevail with the viceroy. Juan de Soto, chief officer of the court, was sent on horseback with a pole to clear the way, galloping furiously and riding down all kinds of people. He ordered the Inca's head be cut off at once in the nam.…
