After _Cusco_ had been sufficiently Plunder’d, _Pizarro_ made _Almagro_ Governor thereof, with the Territories belonging to it, and built near the River _Lima_ a Town, which they call’d _Los Reyes_. Mean while, _Almagro_ receiv’d Letters Patent from the Emperor, in which he was nominated _Marshal_ of _Peru_; encourag’d by that honor, he took a great design in hand, for the _Peruvians_ had reported, that the Golden _Chili_ lay to the South; and _Almagro_ being encourag’d, and assisted by _Pizarro_, March’d inquest thereof with two Troops of Horse, and five hundred Foot: But mean while there happen’d so great Rains, and such foul Weather, that the Ways were almost unpassable, so that the Expedition grew very troublesome; yet however he went on, in which hard March he lost both Horse and Men. [Sidenote: _Mango Inga_ takes _Cusco_.] [Sidenote: Contest between _Almagro_ and _Pizarro_.] [Sidenote: _Almagro_ strangled.] Whilst _Almagro_ was upon this undertaking, _Francisco Pizarro_ receiv’d Letters Patent from the Emperor, in which he was Intitul’d _Duke of Peru_, but with a _Salvo_ for the honor before given to _Almagro_; yet these balanc’d honors bred great dissention between the Duke and Marshal, which _Mango Inga_ another of _Attabaliba_’s Brothers observing, laid hold of the opportunity, and setting upon the _Spanish_ Garrison in _Cusco_, took the City.

But whilst he was passing the intended Sentence of Death upon them, _Gonsalvo_ and _Alvarado_ broke Prison; and got away to the Duke, who troubled for his Brother _Ferdinand_ there in custody, and in danger of his life, came to Composition; whereupon _Ferdinand_ was also releas’d: But this was no sooner done, and he had got his Brother safe there, but the Duke regarding nothing less than the keeping of the new-made Peace, sent to _Almagro_, that the Emperor having given him the prime Command over _Peru_, he requir’d him to leave _Cusco_, or else he would force him. _Almagro_ sent answer, That if he could see the Emperor’s Hand, he would immediately obey, otherwise not; whereupon both Parties prepar’d for War, wherein they had many sharp bickerings in a short time: But
