Túpac Huallpa
Túpac Huallpa († 1533 in Hatun Jauja ), in Peruvian Quechua spelling Tupaq Wallpa , was the fourteenth Inca king and ruled for only a few months in 1533, after Atahualpa's assassination .
Túpac Huallpa was a son of Huayna Cápac and Huáscar's younger brother . Together with his half-brother Atahualpa, he was taken prisoner in Spain after the Battle of Cajamarca . After the Spaniards executed Atahualpa in 1533, they named Túpac Huallpa the new Inca and gave him the maskapaycha , the headband that served as a symbol of Inca rule .
The new king moved with Francisco Pizarro towards the capital Cusco , but died in the city of Hatun Jauja , which shortly afterwards was declared the first capital of the Spanish colony of New Castile .
It has been suggested that Toparpa was poisoned by Chalcuchímac , a general of Atahualpas. According to other versions, he died of an illness.
