Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts a captain named Luis de Avalos suited in armour as he rides on his horse in a battle against the indigenous peoples of Peru. Luis de Avalos is driving a spear into the chest of a captain named Quiso Yupanqui Inca. Whereas Luis de Avalos is suited in his armour, Quiso Yupanqui Inca can be differentiated by his traditional tunic and head gear. There is a caption written on Quiso Yupanqui Inca’s shield which reads, el capitan quizu yupanqui ynga, murio en lima [The Captain Quiso Yupanqui Inca, he died in Lima].
