Paullu Inca

Inca Túpac Inca Paullu or Pawllu Tupaq (* around 1510, according to other sources 1518 in Cuzco, † 1549, according to other sources 1550 ) was a Peruvian prince.

Paullu Inca was a son of Huayna Capac Inca king and brother or half-brother Ninan Cuyochi, Huascar, Atahualpa, Tupac Yupanqui Manco Inca and Huallpa.

At the beginning of the reign Manco Capac Inca Paullu was one of his confidants. On the orders of his brother Manco Capac, he accompanied on July 3, 1535, together with the " Villac Umu ", the High Priest and brother Manco Capac sun, the Spaniard Diego Almagro on an expedition to the south of Peru. Inca Manco Capac Paullu rivaled the dignity of Sapay Inca and likely most likely the exploratory efforts Almagros with Manco Capac have thwarted when returning to Arequipa.

As Manco Capac in 1536 began its nationwide uprising against the Spaniards, he slapped his Almagro's side. Almagro demanded Paullu Inca to prove his loyalty, that this should return a fugitive Spaniards dead or alive, what Paullu Inca had it done promptly. Then " crowned " Almagro in conscious exceeded its powers Paullu Inca to Sapa Inca. At the battle of Las Salinas in 1537, he watched the slaughter of the Spaniards themselves. After the defeat of Almagro's Paullu Inca tried to do business with Hernando Pizarro. Several times in the course of the power struggle between the " Almagristen " and the " Pizarristen " he changed sides.

In 1543 he was baptized in the name of Cristóbal. His son was Francisco Tito Yupanqui.
