Not long after this great Execution, _Blasco Nunnez Vela_ came to _Peru_, and being appointed Vice-Roy, had four Councellors assign’d him, with whom he was to consult in all Affairs; and especially to set the _Indians_ at liberty, which till then had suffer’d much misery under the _Spanish_ Tyranny: To perform which, the Emperor had given an Order under his Great Seal, which was to be publish’d and proclaim’d in all Places. _Vela_ at his arrival faithfully perform’d all his Commands, seiz’d upon _Vacca de Castro_, because he had Executed _Almagro_ without any Examination or Tryal; yet by this means he got the hatred of all, so that most of the _Spaniards_ chose _Gonsalvo Pizarro_ for their Chief, whereby Affairs grew daily more and more out of Order. _Nunnez Vela_ laid all the blame thereof upon _William Xuarez_, Governor of _Lima_, whom he sent for in the Night, and correcting over-severely, gave him also two mortal Wounds, of which he presently died: The Body was in the Morning drawn along the Streets, which caus’d so great a murmuring amongst the Inhabitants, that soon after they seem’d to make a general Insurrection: Wherefore _Nunnez Vela_ fearing the worst, resolv’d to convey himself from thence _incognito_, and pass to _Truxillo_: But his four Councellors advis’d him to the contrary; yet he took his own way, causing all his Treasure to be sent aboard; and having made ready his Horses to depart, the Common People in a tumultuous manner set upon the Palace, catching, snatching up, and carrying away all the Silver they could find, and meeting the Vice-Roy, seiz’d, and thrust him into a Dungeon; which done, they fell at variance amongst themselves; for some would have him executed, but others insisted to have him sent Prisoner to _Spain_; which last being the more moderate, getting the upper Hand, _Vela_ was put aboard, and committed to the custody of _Didacus Alvarez_, who Anchoring in the Mouth of the River _Tombez_ (kindness growing betwixt them) releas’d the Vice-Roy his Prisoner, and set him ashore, who not long after got some Forces together. [Sidenote: Is Beheaded.] Mean while _Pizarro_ was every where acknowledg’d for Supreme Governor, who having Intelligence of the Vice-Roys Design, sent _Francisco Carvayales_ thither, between whom and _Vela_ was a sharp Encounter; but at last being worsted, and retaken by _Carvayales_, he was soon after executed, and his Head plac’d on a Pole near the Gallows.
