Title: CÃ ¡pac Yupanqui, Sapa Inca, Kingdom of Cuzco
Caption: Cápac Yupanqui (Qhapaq Yupanki Inka) was the fifth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco (beginning around 1320) and the last of the Hurin dynasty. In legend Yupanqui is a great conqueror; the chronicler Juan de Betanzos says that he was the first Inca to conquer territory outside the valley of Cuzco, which may be taken to delimit the importance of his predecessors. Chronicles indicate he improved the city of Cuzco with many buildings, bridges, roads, and aqueducts. His son,Inca Roca, was the founder of the Hanan dynasty.
