Manco Inca Yupanqui
?–1544 CE · Cusco
Manco Inca Yupanqui (died 1544) was a son of Huayna Capac who was installed as Sapa Inca by the Spanish in 1533 to serve as a compliant ruler. Chafing under Spanish control, he broke away and in 1536 led a large-scale revolt, laying a months-long siege to Cusco. After the rising failed he withdrew into the remote region of Vilcabamba, where he founded the independent Neo-Inca State. He led resistance from there until his death in 1544.
