Cura Ocllo

Her husband was named Sapa Inca in October 1533 after the death of their common brother Túpac Huallpa, who in his turn had succeeded Atahualpa upon his execution by the Spaniards three months earlier.

According to Titu Cusi, a group of Spaniards under the leadership of Gonzalo Pizarro demanded that Manco give them his queen.

Attempting to regain the Inca capital of Cuzco in a ten-month siege in 1536, he failed, and despite a victory over conquistador Francisco Pizarro's brother Hernando at Ollantaytambo in January 1537, he had to withdraw.

In April 1539, during the Spanish warfare against Manco Inca in Vilcabamba, the Mansio Serra de Leguizamon reported that his force had managed to capture "the Inca's woman [Cura Ocllo] and his warrior chief, who was called Cusi Rimache".

When his messengers were killed, Pizarro had Cura Ocllo stripped, tied to a stake and executed by being shot with arrows by his Canari auxiliaries.
