King Atahualpa, half-brother of Huascar Inca, sought to exterminate the whole royal race that he might reign undisputed over all (instead of over half) the land which his father Huayna Capac, had left him, he is reported to have driven all the women and children on to a big plain to the north of Cuzco, where they were closely guarded by sentinels and gradu ally and unmercifully slain. Garcilasso's mother and her brother, Francisco Huallpa Tupac Inca Yupanqui, who were then little children, succeeded with others in escaping through the lines Later the young Indian girl was beloved by Garci lasso de la Vega, a descendant of Garci Perez de Vargas and Pedro Suarez de Figueroa who was the grandfather of Garcilasso de la Vega, the celebrated poet. Hence the little mesiz'zo (4) boy, born or this union, was akin to his great Spanish namesake.
