Manco, Sapa Inca, Neo-Inca State

Manco Inca Yupanqui (1516-1544) was the founder Sapa Inca of the independent Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba, although he was originally a puppet emperor installed by the Spaniards. He gathered an army of 200,000 Inca warriors and laid siege to Cuzco in early 1536. From his fortress in Ollantaytambo he coordinated his siege of Cuzco with one on Lima, led by one of his captains, Quiso Yupanqui. The Incans were able to defeat four relief expeditions sent by Pizarro. Force to abandon Ollantaytambo he retreated to Vitcos, then to Vilcabamba, where he founded the Neo-Inca State. Manco was murdered in 1544 by supporters of Diego de Almagro who had previously assassinated Francisco Pizarro and who were in hiding under Manco's protection. They in turn were all killed by Manco's soldiers. Image taken from page 108 of "Recuerdos de la Monarquia Peruana, ó bosquejo de la historia de los Incas, etc" by Justo Sahuaraura, 1850.
