Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts the first Spanish viceroy, Blasco Nuñes, sitting on the right side of the image as he orders an execution to be carried out. He ordered the execution of Gelin Juares (Illán Suárez de Carvajal), a conquistador who did not agree with the viceroy’s new rules. There are two men depicted hovering over the body of Juares as they stab him in the chest while Nuñes watches. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, en lima, bizorrey primero [In Lima, the first Viceroy].
