[78] Francisco de Oñate, one of the first conquerors, had the house at Cuzco which was afterwards occupied by Garcilasso de la Vega, facing what is now the Plaza del Cabildo, on the west side. Oñate was slain at the battle of Chupas.
[79] The Editor omits them, and all the rest, and merely gives the last few words of the narrative, and some testimonies.
[80] The Appendix only consists of these extracts. Evidently the most important part of the narrative is omitted. Unfortunately Jimenes de la Espada gives no clue to the title of the document he copied from, nor to its whereabouts, he merely ends by saying: “I am somewhat prolix in giving these details because all or nearly all respecting the life of Titu Cusi Yupanqui, the penultimate native monarch of Peru, is completely unknown.”
The Mission to Titu Cusi Yupanqui was in the time of the President Lope Garcia de Castro, 1564-69.
[81] Inca Manco had been murdered by a Spaniard in 1545. He had established himself in the mountainous region of Vilcapampa, which Rodriguez calls “the land of war of Manco” between the rivers Apurimac and Vilcamayu. His eldest son Sayri Tupac came out and surrendered to the Spaniards. He died in 1560. The next brother Titu Cusi Yupanqui continued to reign in Vilcapampa.

[84] Diego Mendez de Sotomayor fought at the battle of Chupas on the side of Almagro the lad, Sept. 16, 1542, and escaped to Cuzco where he was made prisoner. He escaped and took refuge with Manco Inca, who received him hospitably.
Titu Cusi Yupanqui gave an account of the murder of his father, written Feb. 6, 1570. He describes how they tried to kill him also, and how he escaped.
