How, through the deaths of Manco Capac and of the neighbouring Lords, great wars broke forth between their successors, and of the end that was put to the matter by a strange event

It came to pass that in an action fought at dawn, the enemies of the Sons of the Sun (thus were the people of Cuzco called), captured, among many other prisoners, a small boy, son of Huanacaui Pirua. They carried him off with his nurse in high triumph and held him under strong guard for several days. They desired to put the lad to death, but they restrained themselves because, by that sacrifice, and on account of that spectacle, they would make it necessary for their whole army to hold itself in readiness for everlasting enmity with the Sons of the Sun.
