Cápac Yupanqui (Quechua = Qhapaq Yupanki Inka, "splendid accountant Inca") (c. Template:TrimScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Template:Spndc. Template:TrimScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".) was the fifth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco (beginning around 1320) and the last of the Hurin dynasty.[1]
Family
Yupanqui was a son and successor of Mayta Cápac while his elder brother Cunti Mayta became high priest.[2] His chief wife was Mama Cusi Hilpay (or Qorihillpay or Ccuri-hilpay), the daughter of the lord of Anta, previously a great enemy of the Incas.[3] His son with a woman called Cusi Chimbo, founder of the Hanan dynasty, was Inca Roca.[4]
Reign
In legend, Yupanqui is a great conqueror; the chronicler Juan de Betanzos says that he was the first Inca to conquer territory outside the valley of Cusco – which may be taken to delimit the importance of his predecessors. He subjugated the Cuyumarca and Ancasmarca. His sons from other women included Apu Calla, Humpi, Apu Saca, Apu Chima-chaui, Apu Urco Huaranca, and Uchun-cuna-ascalla-rando. He died in 1350.[2]Template:Rp Garcilaso de la Vega reports that his administration improved the city of Cusco with many buildings, bridges, roads and aqueducts.[3]
