Sayri Túpac

c. 1535–1561 · 16th century

Sayri Túpac was ruler of the Neo-Inca State at Vilcabamba from 1545, after the death of his father Manco Inca. In 1558 he accepted Spanish terms, left Vilcabamba and received estates in the Yucay valley in exchange for giving up his claims. He died in 1561, and his half-brother Titu Cusi Yupanqui continued the resistance from Vilcabamba.
