Ayarmaca

The Ayarmaca were up to the time of the sixth Inca ruler Inca Roca ( Inca Ruq'a ) as equally powerful tribe in northwestern Qusqu ( Cusco ). Perhaps the Inca were them even subordinate. Through the marriage of the son of Inca Ruq'a, Yahuar Huacac ( Yawar Waqaq ), with mom Chiquia, daughter of Tocay Capac ( Tuqay Qhapaq ), an important ruler of Ayarmaca, the Inca gained power over them and were able to expand their empire.
