Yahuar Huacac

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yáhuar Huácac or Yahuar Huacac , in Peruvian Quechua spelling Yawar Waqaq , originally Titu Cusi Huallpa or Titu Kusi Wallpa , was the seventh Inca of the kingdom of Qusqu ( Cuzco ) (around the year 1380).

Titu Kusi Wallpa, the son of Inca Roca (Inka Ruq'a) and the mother Micay, daughter of the chief of the Huallacan (Yucay), was kidnapped as a child by the Ayarmaca living northwest of Qusqu . His parents' marriage had angered the Ayarmaca, because Micay had been promised their chief Tocay Cápac (Tuqay Qhapaq) as a wife. His name Yawar Waqaq , which means something like "the blood weeps" in Quechua, comes from this period of suffering . Out of compassion, the Ayarmaca gave up the plan to kill the child. His father finally succeeded through diplomatic skill with the help of the wife of Tuqay Qhapaq, Chimbo Orma (Chimpu Urma) , to get him free. Later he was married to Mama Chiquia, a daughter of Tuqay Qhapaq, so that the Ayarmaca were integrated as an ally in the domain of the Incas.
