Description
-
This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts Don Francisco Pizarro, one of the leading conquistadors in the conquest of Peru, on the right side of the image suited in his armour. He is illustrated holding a torch and placing it on a house. He is setting a house on fire that contains Capac Apo Guaman Chaua, a noble lord second in command to the emperor, as well as other noble lords. The lords inside the house have tears running down their faces as they are walled in the house and unable to escape. The conquistadors locked these lords in the house to demand gold from them. When the lords did not comply, Pizarro set the house afire and killed the lords. The caption written to the left of Pizarro’s face reads, “daca oro y plata, yndios” [give me gold and siler, Indians]. The caption written below the faces of the noble lords reads, “los senores principales tapeado le quema” [the noble lords, walled in to be burnt]. The caption at the bottom of the image identifies the location as it reads, “en el Cuzco” [in Cusco].
