Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts Atawalpa Inca sitting on his usno [throne] in the centre of the image. There is a crowd of his citizens standing behind him. The Inca is being approached by two Spaniards who led the conquest of Peru, Don Diego de Almagro and Don Francisco Pizarro. They are illustrated on the left side of the image looking up at the Inca. Their last names are written on their helmets. There is also a Franciscan Friar by the name of Fray Vicente holding a cross and a breviary in front of the Inca. His name is written on his left shoulder. A language interpreter is standing to the right of Fray Vicente, with his name, Felipe, written on his left arm. Almagro and Pizarro are urging the Inca to befriend their Castilian king. The Friar is urging the Inca to adopt Christianity. When the Inca rejects Christianity and remains strong in his own spirituality, the conquistadors attack.
