was married to Martin Garcia de Loyola His brother Tupac Amaru tooke the Mountaines Francisco de Toledo second sonne to the Earle of Oropesa being Vice-roy determined to bring from the Mountaines of Uillca campa the Prince Tupac Amaru the lawfull Heire of that Empire after his said brothers death without issue male Hee sought to doe it by faire and gentle perswasions sending Messengers to that purpose promising him maintenance from his Maiestie for his person and familie His kindred and friends told him that his brother had receiued small recompense from them or society with them and therefore counselled him not to goe it being better for him to liue there then to die with his enemies The Spaniards counselled the Vice-roy to force him alledging that his Indians robbed the Merchants hoping also by his imprisonment to recouer the treasures which his progenitours had hidden Such robberies were indeed committed in his father Mancos time but seldome they being forced thereto of necessitie for want of victuals which the Mountaines yeeld not But after his death there was no such matter The Vice-roy sent Martin Garcia Loyola with two hundred and fiftie Souldiers well prouided ag●inst the 〈◊〉 ●he strength of those passages was abated and the wayes plained after the issue of Sayri Tupac so that the Prince Tupac Amaru fled and the Spaniards pursued and hee being guilty to himselfe of no crime yeelded himselfe with his wife two sonnes and a daughter and all his Indians looking for no ill measure but maintenance at their hands The Vice-roy framed a processe against the Prince and against all the Incas of his kindred and against the Mestizos begotten of that stocke by the Spaniards some of which were condemned to be tortured that so they might finde some clearer matter against them One of their mothers came to the prison and cried out that they had got that reward for that their Fathers had conquered the Countrey for which their Children should be all hanged Why did they not as well kill their Mothers for whose sinnes Pachacamac had suffered this which had beene traytors to the Inca for loue of the Spaniards with other outcries of vengeance in this world and the next from Gods hand Thus went shee crying in the street which made the Vice-roy surcease his purpose he proceeded not to put any to death but banished them to liue a lingring death in diuers parts of the world out of that which their Fathers had conquered Some he sent to Chili one of which was the sonne of Barco aforesaid which had beene with Huascar others to the new Kingdome of Granada to the Iles of Barlouent to Panama to Nicaragua and some hee sent to Spaine one of which was Iuan Arias Maldonado who liued there an exile ten yeeres and recounted these things to mee hee after got leaue of the supreme Councell of the Indies to returne to Peru for three yeeres to recouer his goods and then to returne to Spaine there to end his dayes All the rest perished in banishment The Indians of the bloud Royall which were sixe and thirtie of the principall of the bloud Royall he exiled and confined to the Citie of Kings and with them the two sonnes and daughter of the poore Prince the eldest not ten yeeres old the Archbishop of Rimac or The Kings pitied the young g●●le and brought her vp the two sonnes with three and thirtie more died in little aboue two yeeres comming out of a cold hilly Countrie to the hot Plaines by the Sea The three remayning were Don Carlos my School-fellow sonne of Don Christouall Paullu and two others which were sent home to their houses but died all in a yeere and halfe after Of Don Carlos sonne we haue said before that hee came into Spaine in hope of great rewards which in Peru were promised him He died Anno 1610. at Alcala de Henares of griefe to see him selfe shut vp in a Monastery and left one sonne with three daughters The sonne died being a childe of little more then a yeere old and so the Rent granted by the Contractation house at Siuill to his father ceassed Now for the Prince Tupac aforesaid to returne to him they sentenced him to lose his head which was executed the Crier proclayming his treason and tyrannies against the Catholike Maiestie of King Philip the second King of Spaine and Emperour of the New Word They told the Inca that he was sentenced to lose his head without any particular cause mentioned hee answered hee had done nothing worthie of death that the Vice-roy might send him prisoner to Spaine to kisse the hands of his Soueraigne King Philip which would be securitie enough And if his father were not able with 200000. Indians to subiect 200. Spaniards in Cozco what needed the Vice-roy now feare any new commotion The religious hastened to instruct him for baptisme to which he was willing he said his Grandfather Huayna Capac hauing commended the Christian Law as better then theirs He was Christened by the name of Don Philip with as much griefe of those which were present as was ioy made at the baptising of Saiti Tupac The Spaniards did not imagine that the sentence should be executed being so contrarie to humanitie and disagreeable to the Maiestie of King Philip. It was performed on a Scaffold in the chiefe Street of Cozco Many sought to petition the Vice-roy which knowing their errand would admit none to audience They set the Prince on a Mule with a rope about his necke his hands tied one going before to proclaime his treason He not vnderstanding Spanish asked the Friers and hearing that he proclaimed him Auca called him to him and said to him Say not so for thou knowest it is a lye and I neuer did or thought treason as all the world knoweth but ●ar that I must die for the Vice-roys pleasure and not for my faults against him or the King I appeale to Pachacamac that this is true The multitude crying and lamenting they feared some stirre there being 300000. soules assembled in the streets they hasted to set him on the Scaffold The Priests prayed him to still the clamours and out-cries of the people Hee stretched out his arme with his hand open which hee layd on his eare thence letting it fall by degrees to his thigh whereupon followed a sudden silence as if there had not beene a man left in the Citie Which made the Spaniards to wonder and the Vice-roy amongst others which stood at a window to see the execution Thus died the Inca with great magnanimitie as the Incas haue beene in such cases accustomed he worshipping the Images of our Sauiour and of the Vargin as the Priests taught him The Vice-roy returned with great wealth and with 500000. Pezos in gold and siluer and going to kisse the Kings hand he had him get him to his house he had not sent him to Peru to kill Kings but to serue Kings The
