Inca Puppet Manco Inca Crowned

1534

Francisco Pizarro installed Manco Inca Yupanqui, a young son of Huayna Capac, as a Spanish-controlled Sapa Inca in Cuzco. Manco would rebel within two years, lay siege to his own capital, and withdraw into the remote fastness of Vilcabamba, where Inca resistance continued for another thirty-five years. Manco's 1536 rebellion and siege of Cuzco came closer to driving out the Spanish than any later Inca resistance.
