Túpac Huallpa

Túpac Huallpa († 1533 Hatun Jauja ) in Peruvian Quechua case Tupaq Wallpa, was the fourteenth Inca king and reigned only a few months in 1533, after the murder of Atahualpa.

Túpac Huallpa was a son of Huayna Capac and younger brother of Atahualpa. Together with his brother, the Inca king, he came after the Battle of Cajamarca in Spanish captivity. After the Spanish had Atahualpa executed in 1533, they appointed Túpac Inca Huallpa for new and handed him the Maskapaycha, the headband, which served as a symbol of the Inca rule.

The new king moved with Francisco Pizarro against the capital Cusco, but died in the city Hatun Jauja, declared soon after the first capital of the Spanish colony of Peru.

It conjectures have been made that Toparpa was poisoned by Callcuchimac, a general Atahualpa. According to other versions, he died of an illness, perhaps smallpox or cholera.
