	Gonzalo Pizarro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gonzalo Pizarro (1502 – April 10, 1548) was a Spanish conquistador and younger half-brother of Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of the Inca Empire.
		A lieutenant of his brother Francisco during the conquest, Gonzalo Pizarro was one of the most corrupt, brutal and ruthless conquistadors of the New World, being far less restrained towards the natives and the Inca than his older brothers.
		After Inca emperor Atahualpa was captured in the Battle of Cajamarca and later executed on August 29, 1533, the Pizarro brothers and their followers marched towards the Inca capital of Cuzco to complete the conquest.

	Francisco Pizarro
		Having collected the necessary funds Pizarro placed himself at the head of the expedition; Almagro was entrusted with the equipping and provisioning of the ships; and Luque was to remain behind to look after their mutual interests and to keep in Pedrarias's favour so that he might continue to support the enterprise.
		Pizarro went no further than Punta Quemada, on the coast of what is now Colombia, and having lost many of his men he went to Chicamá, a short distance from Panama.
		Pizarro and thirteen of his companions refused to return, and the little party was abandoned on the island.

	Francisco Pizarro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pizarro was also offered a native or two himself, one of which was later baptized as Felipillo and served as an important interpreter, the equivalent of Cortés' La Malinche of Mexico.
		Pizarro thus founded the city of Lima in Peru's central coast on January 18, 1535, a foundation that he considered as one of the most important things he had created in life.
		Pizarro left behind his mestizo children with their mother, Inés Huaillas Yupanqui, daughter of Atahualpa and granddaughter of Huayna Capac, who gave birth to Gonzalo (legitimized in 1537 and died when he was fourteen); by the same woman, a daughter, Francisca.

		He was the illegitimate son of Gonzalo Pizarro, a prominent soldier in the army of the great captain Gonsalvo de Córdoba, and was born at Trujillo, in Estremadura, Spain.
		Pizarro refused to embark, and drew on the sand with his sword the famous dividing line, beyond which he declared lay labor, hunger, thirst, sickness, and every kind of danger, but also the chance for glory and heroic achievement.
		Pizarro maintained himself for several months until the arrival of Almagro, and then they continued to explore the mainland as far as the Gulf of Guayaquil.

	Manco Inca Yupanqui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manco Inca then approached Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro in Cajamarca to negotiate a pact, to rule the Inca peoples and Peru since all of the royal nobles were dead.
		He did not know that he too was being used by Pizarro as a puppet ruler of the Spanish conquistadors, who planned to conquer his country and its people.
		However, when Pizarro and de Almagro left Cuzco to explore the northern and southern parts of Peru, he left his younger brothers Gonzalo Pizarro, Juan Pizarro and Hernándo Pizarro as garrisons in the city of Cuzco.

	Francisco Pizarro
		He was a natural son of Gonzalo Pizarro, a colonel of infantry, and, although he was afterward recognized by his father, he received no education, and was unable to write his own name.
		But Pizarro, who, with the small remnant of his force, had retired before the warlike Indians to the island of El Gallo, refused to obey, and, drawing a line in the sand with his sword, invited those that wished to follow him to glory and riches to pass the line.
		Pizarro was not married, but had two children by the Indian princess Inés Huayllas Ñusta, Atahualpa's sister, a son, who died in infancy, and a daughter, Beatriz, who married her uncle, Hernando, in 1551, and whose descendants inherited her father's riches and his title of marquis of the conquest.

		Pizarro, himself a swineherd in his youth (we don't know whether he ate lizards or not), was one of four illegitimate half-brothers.
		The man was a white male at least 60 years old (Pizarro's exact age was unknown; he was said to be 63 or 65 by contemporary historians) and 5'5" to 5'9" in height.
		The two children might be Pizarro's sons who died young, the elderly female is possibly the wife of Alcántara, and the other elderly male Alcántara.

		Pizarro undertook exploratory expeditions down the coast of modern Peru in the later 1520s and by early 1528 was aware of the existence of a great empire in the area.
		All of the Pizarro brothers except Hernando, the legitimate son, died in Peru; Hernando returned to Spain, as did the majority of the Trujillo contingent at Cajamarca, and eventually married his brother Francisco's mestiza (person of Spanish and Indian parentage) daughter doña Francisca, thus consolidating the family fortune.
		Hernando Pizarro was responsible for the execution of Diego de Almagro, the former Pizarro partner turned rival; Hernando left for Spain in 1535, where he was imprisoned (he had returned briefly to Spain after Cajamarca and went back to Peru in 1534).

		Many of Almagro's supporters had survived the wrath of the victorious Pizarro brothers in 1538 and had become increasingly frustrated with their circumstances.
		Alonso de Alvarado, Pizarro's lieutenant governor, rallied a force of loyal Pizarrists and royalists and finally defeated the younger Almagro in the battle of Chupas, outside the city of Huamanga, on 16 September 1542.
		This was due mainly to the ambiguously worded royal decree that gave Francisco Pizarro control over the land for 270 leagues south of Puna, the original landing point for the conquistadors.

		The military skill and the daring of Orellana in warfare so pleased the Pizarro brothers that the intrepid soldier received high praise and was rewarded with the title of Governor's Lieutenant General of the newly founded city of Santiago de Guayaquil, situated west of the peaks of the Andes.
		Gonzalo Pizarro well recognized that fact and found little difficulty in convincing his brother, the Viceroy, that it would be well to organize a strong force to move eastward to discover and take possession of the fabulous wealth of El Dorado, the Man of Gold, and of La Canella, the Land of Cinnamon.
		In heart and mind he had not forgotten Gonzalo Pizarro and the mission he had been called on to perform, but as a practical matter there was no course for him to pursue other than onward into the indefinite spaces ahead at the mercy of the current and the winds.

		Pizarro appeared to be opposed to this demand; but he yielded to his soldiers, and after a form of trial the inca was executed.
		But Pizarro cannot be acquitted of responsibility for a deed which formed the climax of one of the darkest chapters in Spanish colonial history, and it is probable that the design coincided well with his aims.
		Pizarro, indeed, placed upon the throne of the incas the legitimate heir, Manco, but it was only in order that he might be the puppet of his own purposes.
