Juan Rodriguez Barragán was not a soldier, but one of the lawyers in Almagro's pay. He was Almagro's procurator at the Judge Arbitrator's court when he pronounced the sentence at Mala, and Barragán raised a protest. His son was certainly one of the murderers, but the story of the jug is probably an invention. The son was hanged after the battle of Chupas. The word barragán means a youth, same as mancebo. Originally from Navarre, a branch of the family settled at Baeza in Andalusia, whose arms were or, a tree vert, at its stem a dead knight and two ravens sable, wings raised.

[66] The Marquis Pizarro had by the Princess Inez Huayllas, daughter of the great Inca Huayna Capac, two children, who are mentioned in his will as legitimate, Gonzalo, who died in the flower of his youth, and Francisca, who went to Spain, years after her father's death, in charge of her step-father Don Francisco de Ampuero. She was married to her uncle, Hernando, when he was still a prisoner at Medina del Campo. By him she had three sons and a daughter. Hernando Pizarro was released after twenty-three years of captivity, and lived for nineteen years afterwards in his native town of Truxillo. His great grandson[68] was created Marquis of the Conquest. The Marquis Pizarro also had a son named Francisco, by the Princess Anas (Angelina), sister of Atahualpa, who was a school-fellow of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega at Cuzco. He died young and unmarried.

[67] Cieza de León omits Juan Ortíz de Zárate who defended the door at first, and was badly wounded, as he had just related. Torre and Vergara were much alarmed, but had remained in the sala. Hurtado was the servant wounded in the court-yard.

[69] A very faithful attendant of the Marquis. He was with Pizarro at Cajamarca, and was one of the twelve who rode with him to Mala. He avenged his master's murder at the battle of Chupas.

[70] One of Cieza de León's authorities. They were natives of the same town.

[71] After the murderers had departed from Lima, the body was placed in a coffin, and deposited in the sacristy of the old church (called "Los Naranjos") until the cathedral was completed. In 1607 the bodies of the Marquis Pizarro and of the Viceroy Don Antonio de Mendoza were, by order of the king, placed under a vault behind the high altar of the cathedral. The coffin of the Marquis was covered with purple velvet embroidered in gold.
