ABSTRACT

After administering the oath to the Governor and his captains, as has been stated, the accountant Juan de Guzman, the alcalde Diego Nuñez de Mercado and the licentiate Prado returned to acquaint the Adelantado with what had happened, and when they arrived at Chincha they told him all about it. They then administered the oath to the captains just as they had done at Lunahuana. When that duty was 159done the Adelantado Don Diego de Almagro moved the pueblo or city of Almagro, which he had situated at Chincha, to the Valley of Zangalla; but he was not altogether satisfied and still believed that there was some malice in what the Governor was about.
