Tupac Amaru

Tupac Amaru (-1572) was the last leader of the Incan Empire. The son of Huaina Capac, he was made a priest and the guardian of his father's body. After his half brother, the Inca (Titu Cusi) died in 1570, Tupac Amaru assumed the title Inca.

Tupac Amaru II claimed to be a descendent of Tupac Amaru.

He opposed the Spanish occupation and Christianity and fought a war with them. However he was captured and ultimately beheaded.
