Sayri Túpac, Sapa Inca, Neo-Inca State

Sayri Túpac (1535-1561) was an Inca ruler in Peru. After the murder of his parents, both by the Spaniard conquerors, he became the ruler of the Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba. Viceroy Pedro de la Gasca offered to provide him with lands and houses in Cuzco if he would leave Vilcabamba. He accepted, but a relative died suddenly (bad omen) and he decided to remain in Vilcabamba. In 1556 a new Viceroy, Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, believed it would be safer for the Spanish if Sayri Tupac could be enticed to live in the area of Spanish settlement, where the conquistadors could control him. The negotiations took time, but he agreed to leave Vilcabamba, renounce his claim to the Inca Empire and accept baptism, as Diego. He received a full pardon, the title of Prince of Yucay, and estates with rich revenues. He never returned to Vilcabamba and died suddenly in 1561.
