The Inca’s negotiations with the Viceroyalty of…
1561 CE
The Inca’s negotiations with the Viceroyalty of Peru have taken time, but Sayri Túpac had agreed to leave Vilcabamba, traveling in a rich litter with three hundred attendants.
He had been received amicably by Viceroy Hurtado in Lima on January 5, 1560.
Sayri Túpac had renounced his claim to the Inca Empire and accepted baptism, as Diego.
In return, he had received a full pardon, the title of Prince of Yucay, and great estates with rich revenues.
He has became resident in Yucay, a day's journey northeast of Cuzco.
Significantly, he has left behind the royal red fringe, symbol of his authority.
In Cuzco, he has married his sister Cusi Huarcay after receiving a special dispensation from Pope Julius III.
They have a daughter.
Sayri Túpac never returns to Vilcabamba, dying suddenly in 1561.
His half-brother Titu Cusi Yupanqui takes control of Vilcabamba and the Inca resistance to the Spanish.
Titu Cusi suspects that Sayri Túpac has been poisoned by the Spanish.
Resistance against Spanish rule continues.
