Inca Roca
Inca Roca , in Peruvian Quechua spelling Inka Ruq'a , was the sixth ruler of the Kingdom of Qusqu ( Cusco ) and the first with the title Inka (around the year 1350 ).
Inka Ruq'a could already count on a secure rule of the Incas over all of Qusqu. He was the first Inca ruler to be Hanan Qusqu (Upper Cuzco), probably because his mother Cusi Chimbo (Kusi Chimpu) came from there. A rebellion of the nobility of Hanan Qusqu is said to have caused this change of power, in which the rightful heir to the throne and half-brother of Inka Ruq'a, Quispe Yupanqui (Qispi Yupanki) was murdered.
There were already armed conflicts with the Chankas during the reign of Inka Ruq'a . He extended the domain of the Incas to places up to 20 km away from the capital Qusqu.
Inka Ruq'a married Mama Micay, daughter of the chief of the Huallacan (Yucay), who gave birth to the later heir to the throne, Titu Cusi Huallpa (Titu Kusi Wallpa) .
