Incan Empire. The son of
Manco Capac, he was made a priest and the guardian of his father's body. After his half brother, the Inca
Titu Cusi[?] died in
1570, Tupac Amaru assumed the title
Inca. He opposed the Spanish occupation and Christianity and fought a war with them. However he was captured and ultimately beheaded.
