Titu Cusi Yupanqui

?1571 CE · Vilcabamba (Espiritu Pampa)

Titu Cusi Yupanqui (died 1571) was a Sapa Inca of the Neo-Inca State at Vilcabamba, a son of Manco Inca who took control of the resistance state around 1563. He kept Vilcabamba effectively independent while conducting long negotiations with Spanish officials and accepting missionaries. He is notable for dictating a narrative account of the Spanish conquest from the Inca point of view, one of the few such documents. He died in 1571, and his successor was Túpac Amaru.
