ABSTRACT

Arrived at the first square, called Rimac·pampa, the accession was announced to the people, and they were ordered to come and do homage to the new Inca. When they all assembled, and saw how young he was, never having seen him before, they all raised their voices and called him HteaYlla Ccapac which means "the boy chief" or "the boy sovereign." For this reason he was called Huayna Ccapac from that time, and the name Titu Cusi H ualpa was no longer used. They celebrated festivals, armed him as a knight, adored, and presented many gifts -as was customary.
