Titu Cusi Yupanqui

Titu Cusi Yupanqui succeeded his brother Sayri Tupac as the ruler of the Neo-Inca state in Vilcabamba. He revived resistance against Spanish rule, refusing to accept Spanish authority and maintaining an independent Inca kingdom.

Titu Cusi Yupanqui engaged in negotiations with Spanish envoys, including the viceroy's representatives, seeking a peace treaty. The talks failed due to mutual distrust, and Titu Cusi continued guerrilla warfare against Spanish settlements.

Titu Cusi Yupanqui dictated a chronicle to Spanish missionary Fray Marcos Garc

Titu Cusi Yupanqui died suddenly, possibly from illness or poisoning. His death led to the succession of his brother Tupac Amaru, who was later captured and executed by the Spanish, ending the Vilcabamba resistance.
