This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts a major battle between Francisco Hernandez Giron, a traitor to the Spanish crown, and noble lords that are indigenous to Peru. The left side of the image depicts the side of those fighting in the service of the king. Their names are written on their bodies to identify them. The man at the forefront of the image holding a spear is identified as “capac apo don martin mallqui de ayala.” The man behind him is identified as “apo guasco” [Apo Huasco/Wasco], and the man behind him is identified as “guaman uacha” [Guaman Huacha/Wacha]. The author explains that this army only consisted of one hundred indigenous soldiers, while Francisco Hernandez Giron’s side had 300 Spanish soldiers and one hundred mestizos. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the noble lords won the battle. The right side of the image depicts Francisco Hernandez Giron and his men fleeing battle while riding their horses and looking back to the opposing army in fear. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “en uata cocha” [in Huatococha].
