[4] Inca. When the Spanish Conquistadores came to America, all of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and north-western Argentina were inhabited by the Quichua Indians. These Indians were divided into seven tribes, from one of which came the Incas who became the rulers of the vast territory occupied by the Quichuas. The Inca was the head of the ruling class and consequently the emperor of all the Quichuas. The reference here is to Atahualpa, the last Inca, who was strangled in 1533 by order of Pizarro, conqueror of Peru.
