Lloque Yupanqui , third Inca. Born in Inticancha, he was the second son of Sinchi Roca and Mama Huaco. According to Alberto Tauro del Pino "he was preferred among the numerous descendants of his father, due to his outstanding physical qualities and his skill in combat." His reign was a permanent struggle to survive. The chroniclers agree that he did not make any military conquest, with the exception of the idyllic Garcilaso who affirms that he "did great things" and entered the Apurimac territory, then dominated by the powerful Chancas, due to which this incursion is hardly credible. .
He continued the war against the Ayarmacas and also had to face a rebellion by the Huallas, ancient inhabitants of Cuzco who had subjugated his grandfather Manco Capac, managing to placate them. Thanks to his diplomacy, he maintained good relations with the neighboring curacazgos, earning the sympathy of the curacas Huamay Samo (Lord of Huaro) and Pachachulla Wiracocha (Lord of Urcos), and of a sector of the Ayarmacas (ayllus of Tampucunca and Quilliscanchis), with who made peace.
Last years of Lloque Yupanqui
It is said that Lloque Yupanqui had almost reached old age, overwhelmed by sadness and depression at the thought that he would die without leaving a successor. He then had the appearance of a divinity who told him:"Don't be sad, Lloque Yupanqui, great lords will descend from you." Knowing the relatives of such a statement, they requested as a girlfriend the daughter of the curaca of Oma, a maiden named Mama Cahua, who started on the way to Cuzco, which was 12 km away. The crossing lasted four days, due to the parties that were held in each town that passed. Mama Cahua arrived in the capital, finding her decrepit husband almost without strength for her procreation. However, after some time, her coya became pregnant, but it is unknown if her successor Mayta Capac was her son. Most likely, the union was maintained out of convenience, with a view to gaining friends and allies in order to ensure the security of the small kingdom of Cuzco.
Lloque Yupanqui died in Inticancha, the place where he was born, and his funeral gave rise to "great tears." His offspring were gathered in the panaca of Aguanin Ayllu, although Cobo calls it Huananina and Sarmiento referred to Ahuaya.
