 | | A lieutenant of his brother in the conquest of Peru, Gonzalo aided in the defense of Cuzco (153637) against the Inca Manco Capac, subdued Charcas (present Bolivia), and fought against Diego de Almagro (153738). |
 | | Gonzalo then learned of the assassination of Francisco and offered to help the crowns representative, Vaca de Castro, but was refused. |
 | | When the newly arrived viceroy, Blasco Núñez Vela, peremptorily enforced the New Laws, framed by Bartolomé de Las Casas and promulgated in 1542 to protect the Native Americans, popular indignation broke out, and Gonzalo was chosen to lead the revolt. |
