Juan Pizarro (1511-1536) "I have received services from an Indian woman who has given birth to a girl whom I do not recognise as my daughter". (Juan Pizarro's will, referring to Inquil Coya, the wife he stole from Manco Inca - 1536). Like his brother Gonzalo, Juan Pizarro was remarkably unrestrained in his conduct towards the natives. He too participated in the abuse of Manco Inca in 1535, stealing yet another of the Inca's wives. When the first, scattered instances of rebellion broke out in the same year, Juan was ruthless in exacting reprisals on the natives. During the battle for Sacsahuaman, Juan Pizarro was hit on the jaw and was unable to wear his steel helmet. The following day a boulder flung from the high walls of the fortress struck Juan a mortal blow on his unprotected head. He was buried secretly so that the Indians would not know and be encouraged for "he was a very brave man and the Indians were very frightened of him". |
