ABSTRACT
The principal people of the city considered who should be chosen for king, and who was worthy to be raised to such a post of dignity. There were several opinions, some proposing that there should be no king, but that the city should be governed by those who might be elected; while others maintained that all would be lost if there was no head. In due time Eocca Inca came forth with the crown, and they celebrated solemn festivals in Cuzco, which lasted for many days, all showing great satisfaction at the election of the new Inca. Some have pretended that this Inca was called Viracocha because he came from other parts and brought with him a different dress, and that in his features and aspect he appeared like a Spaniard, because he had a beard. As soon as he received the crown, he married with one of the principal ladies named Runtu Coya, who was very beautiful.
