Juan Rodriguez Barragán was not a soldier, but one of the lawyers in
Almagro's pay. He was Almagro's procurator at the Judge Arbitrator's
court when he pronounced the sentence at Mala, and Barragán raised a
protest. His son was certainly one of the murderers, but the story of
the jug is probably an invention. The son was hanged after the battle
of Chupas. The word _barragán_ means a youth, same as _mancebo_.
Originally from Navarre, a branch of the family settled at Baeza in
Andalusia, whose arms were _or, a tree vert, at its stem a dead knight
and two ravens sable, wings raised_.
[66] The Marquis Pizarro had by the Princess Inez Huayllas, daughter
of the great Inca Huayna Capac, two children, who are mentioned in
his will as legitimate, Gonzalo, who died in the flower of his youth,
and Francisca, who went to Spain, years after her father's death, in
charge of her step-father Don Francisco de Ampuero. She was married
to her uncle, Hernando, when he was still a prisoner at Medina del
Campo. By him she had three sons and a daughter. Hernando Pizarro
was released after twenty-three years of captivity, and lived for
nineteen years afterwards in his native town of Truxillo. His great
grandson[68] was created Marquis of the Conquest. The Marquis Pizarro
also had a son named Francisco, by the Princess Anas (Angelina),
sister of Atahualpa, who was a school-fellow of the Inca Garcilaso de
la Vega at Cuzco. He died young and unmarried.
[67] Cieza de León omits Juan Ortíz de Zárate who defended the door
at first, and was badly wounded, as he had just related. Torre and
Vergara were much alarmed, but had remained in the sala. Hurtado was
the servant wounded in the court-yard.
