Túpac Amaru
1545 CE–1572 CE · Vilcabamba (Espíritu Pampa)
Túpac Amaru (1545–1572) was the last Sapa Inca of the Neo-Inca State, the independent remnant of the Inca realm centered at Vilcabamba, northeast of Cusco. A younger son of Manco Inca, he came to the throne in 1571 after the death of his half-brother Titu Cusi. In 1572 the Spanish viceroy Francisco de Toledo launched a campaign against Vilcabamba, capturing him and bringing him to Cusco. His execution there in September 1572 ended Inca political sovereignty.
