How Hernando Pizarro, Lieutenantfor the Governor, the Captain Gonzalo Pizarro and the others under arrest, were taken to Almagro, who would not see them, and ordered them to be taken as prisoners to the house of Diego Nuñez de Mercado; and how Almagro was received in the city of Cuzco as governor

A historical account reveals the tense aftermath of the capture of Spanish captains Hernando and Gonzalo Pizarro during the Civil Wars in Peru. Almagro, the newly appointed governor, refused to meet the prisoners, citing their role in fracturing his friendship with Governor Francisco Pizarro. The captives were briefly held at Diego de Mercado's residence before being transferred to the Temple of the Sun, where they remained under guard for an extended period. This narrative sheds light on the political intricacies and power struggles during this turbulent era, offering insights into the dynamics of colonial governance in Cuzco.
