Description
-
This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts the Spaniards on the right side of the image and the indigenous people of Peru on the left side. The conquistadors Don Francisco Pizarro and Don Diego de Almagro are depicted kneeling as they embrace Huascar Inca, the ruler of the Inca Empire. They are doing this as a sign of peace and friendship. They are differentiated through their clothing as the Spaniards are wearing metal armor and carrying the flag of Castile, and the Peruvians are wearing traditional garbs with no armor. The caption written on the left side of the image reads “el excelenticimo senor don Martin Guaman Malqui de Ayala virrey y segunda person del ynga deste reyno principe” [the excellent lord Don Martin Guaman Malqui de Ayala, viceroy and second in command of the Inca in this kingdom]. The caption at the bottom of the image reads “se dieron pas el rrey enperador de castilla y el rrey de la tierra deste rreyno del piru uascar ynga, lexítimo en su lugar fue su segunda persona y su bizorrey ayala” [the sign of peace was exchanged between the king-emperor of Castile and the king of the land of this kingdom of Peru, Huascar Inca, in his place went his second-in-command and vicery, Ayala].
