Inca Roca

Inca Roca, in Peruvian Quechua case Inca Ruq'a, was the sixth ruler of the kingdom of Qusqu ( Cusco ) and the first with the title Inka ( around the year 1350).

Inca Ruq'a was able to build on a secure rule of the Incas throughout Qusqu. He counted himself as the first Inca emperor to Hanan Qusqu (upper Cuzco ), probably because his mother Cusi Chimbo ( Kusi Chimpu ) came from there.
