ABSTRACT
About the break of day the Captains Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro and the other Spaniards who had been besieged with them were made prisoners, and were taken towards the church where Almagro had established himself, who already knew what had taken place and that they were captured. He ordered 34that they should not be brought into his presence, because he did not wish to see a man so bad that he had caused a rupture in the ancient friendship between the Governor Don Francisco Pizarro and himself. So they took the prisoners to the house of Diego de Mercado who had made great offers of service to the Adelantado. They were imprisoned one day only in that house, and then they were taken to the Temple of the Sun, where they were confined for many days in charge of the Captain Francisco de Chaves.
