Mitimaes Out of euery Prouince throughout his whole Dominiō they brought yerely vnto their prince certein tribute of such things as the countrey yealded in so much that in some barrain soiles where no good commoditie grew yet from thence they sent yerely also to the king in token of duetie obedience certain loades called burthens of litle Lizarts as far as 300. leagues from cusco This Prince Guaynacaua did réedifie the Temple of the sun which was of old time foūded in the citie of Cusco séeled the Roofes and walles thereof with boordes of siluer and golde And because a certaine noble mā which ●welled in the playnes had rebelled against him called chimocappa who was a man of great possession and had more then one hundred leagues of ground he went personally against him slew him in the field cōmaunded that from thenceforth no Indiā of the plaines should at any time were weapon which o●der is kept vntill this day yet notwithstanding his successor enioyed through the Princes fauour y e prouince of chimo where at this present standeth the citie of Trugillio Guaynacaua and his father toke an order for the breeding of cattaile by meane whereof the coūtrey was wel prouided out of the which they payd tithing which they sacrificed to the sun The chiefe cause of the estimation of gold amōg the Indians was because the king made al the vessell for the seruice of his court of that mettal and also Iewels for his person offerings for the Temple The king had alwaies a chaire of gold caried with him to sit in of 16. carrets in fines which was estéemed at 25000 dukets this chaire was one of the things y e Don Francisco Pisarro chose for his iewel at the time of y e conquest For according to the articles of agréement betwéene his Maiestie him was agreed that of y e best Iewels which should be found or taken at any victorye hee should haue one out of y e first choise of the whole treasure At y e birth of the first manchild which Guaynacaua had he cōmāded a cable of gold wier to be made in remēbrance of y e birth of his sonne that was of such greatnes as many Indiās do affirme which are as yet liuing that 200. strong men could scarcely lift or beare and also in remembrance of this memorable iewel he named his sōne Guasca which in y e Indiā spéech is called a cable or great rope added therunto for his sirname Inga which is as much to say as Emperour This example I thought good to declare in this place for to conuince an opinion which is held in Spayne among such as know not the fashions of India and was how that people esteemed no golde nor yet knew the valew therof although it is true that they had many strāge vessels wrought of siluer and golde and also images of men wemen sheepe and many other kinde of beasts and sundry kindes of herbes wrought in the same metall of exceeding cunning workmanship Of the estate of the warres when the Spaniards came into Peru. Chap. 15. ALthough the principal intent of this Historie was to set out the things hapned to the Spaniards which at that time conquered the land and of their discouery since But sithens this could not wel be done without touching somewhat of the estate of the Indians which then ruled And also that it may be vnderstood it was the diuine permission that the Spaniards should come thither at such time as the land was deuided into two parcialities for otherwise it wold haue séemed not only difficult but also almost impossible Therefore I will recite in briefe the estate which the Spaniards found the countrey in at their arriual After that Guaynacaua had brought into subiection to great a number of Prouinces to his Empire for y e space of 500. Leagues accounting from Cusco westward hée then determined to goe in person to conquere the Prouince of Quito in the vttermost part whereof finished his dominion So that he prouided on his iorney thitherward with a great armye and being come thither and hauing finished and quyeted that Prouince he delighted much in that countrey because it was a pleasant Soyle and holesome for his complection whereupon hee abode there a great space leuing in the citie of Cus●o certain of his Sonnes and Daughters amonge whom was his eldest sonne called Guascar Inga Mango Inga and Paulo Inga and diuerse others And in Quito hee married another Wife Daughter vnto the Lorde of that Countrey and of her hee begot a Sonne called Atabaliba who hee loued excéedinglye so that now hée determined to returne to Cusco leauinge his Sonne with a Tutor in Quito but in this returne hee found the Calsey in the Mountayne broken and spoyled as herebefore hath béene declared After hee had abode in Cusco certaine yeares hee determined to returne againe to Quito not onely because that Countrey contented him much but also with desire to sée his Wife and young Sonne whom he loued more than any other of his Children and this Iorney hee tooke in hande by the highe waye that was made in the Playnes and from this time forward hee retourned no more to Cusco but abode all his life time in Quito gaue that Land or Prouince which hee had with force conquered to his Sonne Atabaliba because the same had béen of his Grandfathers Whan Guaynacaua died his Sonne Atabaliba tooke pocession of his Armye and of all his Fathers ritches which were in that Prouince although his greatest treasure was lefte in his Treasury in the Cittie of Cusco in the custody of his eldest Sonne vnto whom Atabaliba sente Embassadors giuinge him to vnderstand the decease of his Father and also submittinge himselfe to his obedience beséechinge his Maiesty that hée would ratifie the gift of his Prouince of Quito which the Father of them both had left vnto him considering that that Prouince of Quito was conquered by their Father after the maryage with his Mother and moreouer the Lande came by his Mother and Auncestors and was not pertayning to the Crowne of cusco or his inheritance Guascar made answere that hée should come to Cusco and render vp vnto him the Army and in so dooinge hee would giue vnto such Landes as should maintaine him like a man but the state of Quito hée shoulde not haue because it was the vttermost part of his Kingdome and from thence hée ment to conquer forward and alwaies there to maintayne a Garrison as a Frontier And if vpon this warninge hee refused to come vnto him that then hée would bend his power against him as an open enemy Atabaliba tooke counsell vpon this matter with two of his Fathers Captaynes who were both wise and valyant in the Warres The one was called Quizquiz and the other cilicuchima who counsailed that hee should not abide his Brothers comminge but that it might please him to begin to take that

of the thing which was ment to be signified so that in euerye Prouince were Offycers who had the charge to keepe the thinges in memorie with those coardes which were called Quippo Camayos so that many publique houses were found full of those coardes and the saide officers could by them easily declare any matter concerning their effecte although it had beene of many yeres pa●t Of the people and things that are beyonde the Equinoctiall line towarde the Meridian along the sea Coast. Cap. 6. BEyonde the Equinoctiall line towarde the Meridian standeth an Iland 12. leagues distant from the towne of Boio neere adioy●ing to the firme land The which Ilande is called Puma and hath in it aboundance of sundrie sortes of beastes and store of deere and much fresh fish in swete waters In time past this Iland was replenished with people and maintained warres with all the townes about their frontiers but principallye they were enemies to the inhabitants of Tumbez which standeth 12. leagues distant from them They were lords of many Raffes for their nauigation these Raffes were made of long light poules bound one vpon another so that alwayes those which were placed vppermost were odde as ordinarily fiue seuen or nine and the middle powle was longer then the rest as a Ruther to guyde the Raffe and thereon sate the rower so that the raffe is made like an open hand euen as one finger is longer then another And on the toppe are plankes layde to kepe soldiers or passengers from wetting There are Raffes that 50. men and 3. horses may wel be carryed on them They vse for them as wel sayles as oares the Indians are very good Marryners for such kinde of vessels although it hath happened that when Spaniards haue sailed on those Raffes the Indians suttlely haue vndone the ropes wherewith the timber was bound together and so ech peece sodenly to separate frō other By meanes whereof many Christians haue peryshed and the Indians saued them selues vpon the powles witho●t any other thing to succour them by reason that they can swim exceeding well Their chiefe weapons for the warres were slinges clubbes and hatchets made of siluer and copper They had many speares or Iauelings with the sharpe poynts of them made of base golde Both the men and women vsed to were many iewels and ringes of golde Their ordinarie vessell was wrought and made of siluer and golde The Lorde of that Ilande was greatly feared among his people hee was also exceeding ielious of his wiues in so much that all those seruitours which attend vppon them had their noses cut of and likewise their genitall members In another litle Iland adioyning to the same they found a house and a gardeine plot or orchard within the same hauing litle trees and plantes ther●in made of siluer and gold Ouer against this Iland in the firme land were certaine Townes the which by displeasure taken by the Lord of Peru he commaunded that aswell men as wemen should haue all their vpper teeth drawen out of which toothlesse people vntil this day are some liuing Proceeding forward beyond Tumbez toward the Meridian for the space of 500 leagues along the coast and ten leagues into the mayne there neuex rayneth thundreth or falleth any lightning or thunderbolt But passing the sayd ten leagues within the mayne land distant from the sea it both rayneth and thundreth haue both winter and summer in their due seasons in the same maner as is in Spaine But when it is winter in the mountaynes then is it summer on the sea coast and th● like contrariwise So that the le●gth of that coast which is already discouered of the land of Peru which taketh his beginning and is accompted from the citie of Pasto vnto the Prouince of Chili is one thousand eight hundred leagues as large as the leagues of Castillia and throughout the sayd Countrey lieth a long mountayne or ridge of hilles very troublesome to passe which in some places doth stand distant from the sea 15. yea and 20. leagues and in some places the branches of that moūtaine approacheth nere the sea brim So that all which as yet is discouered of Peru is to be vnderstand by two names that is to say all the ground betweene the mountaines and the sea is called plaines and all the rest is called mountaines The plaines are drie and the most part sands for as before is declared there it neuer rayneth nor yet hath there bene founde any spring or fountaine sauing nere the sea side are 4. or 5. aqueys or cesterns the water wherof is saltish But the people doe prouide themselues of water of the Riuers which descend out of the mountaines The cause of those riuers is the thawing of the snow and rayne which commeth from the sayd hilles where very fewe naturall springes are found These riuers are distant one from another some 10. and some 15. and 20 leagues but the most ordinarie are of seuen and eight leagues so that commonly the trauelers doo appointe their iorneys accordingly to come vnto their fresh water Some of these riuers are a league broade and some lesse according to the disposition of the ground Along those Riuer sides are faire prospectes of trees and fruites ground conuenient for the Indians to sowe their ●orne called Maiz. After the Spaniards began to inhabite this contrey they sowed wheate all the saide plaine grounde they vsed to water with s●ewces conueyed out of the Ryuers in which arte they haue great experience and industry the beauty of those Riuers with Trees and fruites aforesaid grow along the said Riuers euen from the Sea● vnto the Mountaines those Riuers comming from the ●illes discendinge with such vehemency that the Spanyardes could not passe them on Horsebacke especially the Riuer called Sancta and many others so that those which iorney in those Playnes they keepe all along the Sea coaste but in the Winter season it is daungerous trauailinge that coaste by reason of the excéedinge great currantes of those Riuers that the waye is not vadeable on Horsebacke but only on Raffes or els with a bundell of Gourdes which they vse to binde before their breasts and vnder their armes and an Indian Pilot goeth before swimmyng to leade the way The grounde alonge these Riuers is excéeding fruitefull as wée haue declared where Wheat Maiz groweth in aboūdance without respecting any time of sowing These Indians dwell not in houses but their abidyng is vnder Trées and shadowes made for the purpose Their women were garments made of Cotton woll like vnto gownes which come downe to their féete The men were shirtes downe to the knées and certein Mantels vpon the same although their attire is after one sorte they differ in the attire of their heads accordynge to the vse of euery countrey some vse their haire bounde vp with laces of woll some with one lace and other with many laces of sundry colours so there is

Chāber his brother Francisco Martin helping to arme him with two Gentlemen and two Pages the one was called Iuan de Vargas who was sonne to Gomes de Tardoya and the other was named Escandon who séeing the enemie so nigh that they had not tyme to arme theyr Maister the Marquesse tooke his sworde and Target which is a shéelde of leather in hande and came to his Chamber doore where he and his folke valiauntly defended them selues a good space and fought so manfully that the enimies coulde not enter saying with a lowde voice Oh brother vpon them vpon them let them dye like Traytors as they are But the men of Chili fought so long that they slew Francisco Martin in whose place entred one of the Pages The Chili men séeing them defend them selues so long fearing that succour might come and assault them on theyr backes they determyned to put the matter in hazarde so that they tooke one of theyr owne company and thrust him in at the doore with force of hande being well armed and whylst the Marquesse was occupied in killing of him the residue had tyme to enter the Chamber doore and they all with one accord stroke at the Marquesse who fought so long with them that with verie wearinesse his sworde fell out of his hands and then they slew him with a pricke of a Rapyer through his throte and when he was fallen to the ground and his winde fayling him he cryed vnto God for mercie and when he had so done he made a crosse on the ground and kissed it and then incontinent yéelded vp the Ghost and when he was fully dead they slew also his two Pages And on the Chili side were foure slaine and diuers others wounded When this sorrowfull newes was knowne in the Cittie there came aboue two hundred men to ayde Don Deigo de Almagro for though they were armed and in a readinesse yet they durst not come abroade tyll they perfectly knew how the matter would passe But now they ran vp and downe the Cittie taking the Armor from such as were comming to succour the Marquesse When the murderers came out of the Marquesse house with theyr blooddye swordes in theyr handes they foorthwith caused Don Diego to mount vpon his Horse and to passe through the chéefest stréetes of the Cittie saying that in all Peru there was no other Gouernour but onely he nor yet any King aboue him And when this was done he sackt the Marquesse house and also the houses of his Brother his Secretarie And then he compelled the Councell State of the Cittie to receyue Don Diego for theyr gouernour vnder y e collour of the Capitulation which was tofore made with his Maiestie at the beginning of y e discouerie which in effect was That Don Diego de Almagro should haue the gouernment of newe Toledo and after his decease his sonne or whome he should appoint to enioy the same When all this dilligence was done they commaunded to be slaine certayne Uassailes which were knowne to be seruaunts and fréends to the Marquesse It was a sorrowfull spectacle to behold and heare the Wiues of dead men what dolefull cries they made yea the lamentable words that they spake The corpes of the Lord Marquesse certaine Negros drew a long the stréetes toward the Church none durst burie him vntyll Iuan de Barbaran Cittizen of Trugillio who somtyme had béen seruaunt to the Marquesse he and his Wife buried bothe the Marquesse and his Brother aswell as they might hauing first obteined licence for that fact of Don Diego they made all the haste possible to burie him and yet they had not leysure to attyre him according to the vsuall ceremony of Knights of the order of S. Iames because they were aduised how the men of Chili were comming to cutte off the Marquesse head for to put it on the Picot which is a Gallowes after their vse In this forme Iuan de Barbaran buried his Lord and Maister and after the buriall he caused the Funerall pompe to be solemnized according as he was able at his owne cost After all this good wyll and dilligence was shewed he went to séeke his Chyldren which went wandring astray to procure theyr securitie The Chili men were now Lordes and Rulers in the Cittie By this successe we may learne and sée the worldly thinges and the varietie of Fortune that in so short a tyme a Gentleman who had discouered conquered and gouerned so great Countries so many Kingdomes such innumerable sums of Treasure who had giuen so great rentes and liuings in respect of time the greatest Prince in the world had not done the lyke And now to be suddenly slaine by the handes of onely twelue men at noone tyme being in a Cittie where all the Cittizens wer● eyther his seruants Kinsemen or Soldiours vnto whome generally he had giuen sufficient liuing and none among them would come to succour him nay rather they fled away euen the Seruaunts of his owne house his noble corps so vily buried And all the infinite Treasure which he possessed consumed in a moment not hauing so much left to burie him according to the degrée and state of his person and all these thinges to happen vnto him after he had thereof sufficient warning by sundrie men as héere before hath bene declared This hath happened the. xxvi day of Iune .1541 Of the customes and qualities of the Marquesse Don Francisco Pisarro and the Discouerer Don Diego de Almagro Chap. 9. SIthens this Historie and Discouery of the Prouince of Peru hath origen from the two valiant Captaines of whome hyther vnto we haue spoken Who are y e Marquesse Don Francisco Pisarro and Don Diego de Almagro It is méete and conuenient to write theyr customes and qualities comparing them together as Plutarchus vseth when he writeth of two Captains which are in any respect comparable one to the other and touching the lynage of these our Captaines at the beginning of this Historie is written asmuch as could be knowen But in the residue they were bothe valiaunt persons of great courrage they were also great sufferers of paynes trauails and verie vertuous they were fréends to doo plesure to al men at theyr owne cost They were much lyke of inclynation especially in the state of lyuing for neyther of them was married although the youngest of them bothe at the tyme of theyr death was aboue thrée score and fiu● yéeres of age They were bothe enclined to affayres of Warres although Don Diego de Almagro when occasion of Warres wanted applied him selfe to thinges of gaynes they were néere of one age when they tooke the conquest of Peru in hande in which Discouerie and conquest they tooke the paynes which hath bene declared although the Marquesse dyd suffer greater trauaile and passed greater peryls then Don Diego For whylst the one was occupied in the greatest part of the Discouerie the other abode in Panama prouiding necessaries Furniture
