Huáscar
1495 CE–1532 CE · Cusco
Huáscar was a Sapa Inca of Tawantinsuyu, the Inca Empire, who ruled from Cusco after inheriting the throne on the death of his father Huayna Capac around 1527. His right to rule was contested by his half-brother Atahualpa, and the two fought a destructive war of succession. Huáscar was defeated and captured in 1532 and later killed on Atahualpa's orders. The conflict left the empire divided and weakened just as the first Spanish expedition arrived in the Andes.
