Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts Pedro de la Gasca, the Spanish Viceroy of Peru, receiving a cleric that was sent by a conquistador named Gonzalo Pizarro. Gonzalo Pizarro rebelled against King Charles V of Spain, and Pedro de la Gasca was sent by the king to make peace with Pizarro. When Pizarro refused to co-operate, Pedro de la Gasca prepared for battle against him. Pizarro sent Gasca a cleric, as depicted in the image, to request that war not be made. The clergyman is illustrated presenting a letter and kneeling before Pedro de la Gasca. Gasca is illustrated standing in front of the clergyman with his hand reaching towards the letter. He is depicted wearing a full suit of armour and holding a long spear in his left hand. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “en Xacxauana Pampa” [at Jaquijahuana].
