Life
Túpac Huallpa was a younger brother of Atahualpa and Huáscar. After Atahualpa's execution on 29 Aug. 1533, the Spaniards appointed Túpac Huallpa as a puppet ruler and ensured he was crowned with great recognition and ceremony. All this was done to convince the Inca people that they were still being ruled by an Inca. Túpac Huallpa and his people may not have understood that the Spaniards were using him to take control of Peru and steal the gold treasures of his country. Túpac died in Jauja in 1533. He was succeeded by another brother, Manco Inca Yupanqui.
