ABSTRACT

The inhabitants of Bonbon, according to what they relate, had heard of the events of Xauxa, how the Huancas had been defeated, and, suspecting that the conquerors intended to continue their march, they determined to be prepared, so that they might not be taken unawares. The Inca Captains, when they had arranged the affairs at Xauxa, set out and advanced as far as Bonbon, but as the people had taken refuge on the lake, they were unable to do other harm than eat their provisions. The Chancas relate that, as the Indians who came forth from the province of Andahuaylas with the chief Ancoallo had performed great deeds in these wars the Inca captains were jealous. The Chancas, as soon as they received the command of the Inca, came to Cuzco; and when they arrived the Inca spoke to them lovingly but with much dissimulation, concealing his evil dealings with Ancoallo, by his words, that he had been himself displeased.
