[21] The Licentiate Antonio de la Gama was sent to Puerto Rico in 1517
to hold a _residencia_. He went thence to Panama where he planned
improvements. Arriving in Peru he was employed to negotiate with
Almagro. In 1539 Pizarro left him at Lima as his Lieutenant and Chief
Judge. After the battle of Chupas he judged and condemned the rebels.
Vaca de Castro sent him to Lima as his Lieutenant, but he left on the
approach of the Viceroy and went to Cuzco. The Viceroy excepted him
from pardon for having joined Gonzalo Pizarro. He remained at Cuzco,
and was living in 1551.
[22] Ruy Lopez?.
[23] So thought the Viceroy who seized Solar and intended to hang him.
This was prevented, but Solar was kept in prison until he was released
by the Judges.
[24] The Licentiate Benito Suarez de Carbajal was a brother of Illan
Suarez de Carbajal, the Factor. He came with his brother to Peru,
and was at the battle of Chupas. He joined Gonzalo Pizarro against
the Viceroy to avenge his brother’s death, and was at the battle of
Añaquito where the Viceroy was killed. He then went over to Gasca
and was at Sacsahuana, Gasca making him Alferez General. He was the
Corregidor of Cuzco. The ladies called him “Galan” and “Buen Mozo.” On
June 24th, 1549, he was climbing into a lady’s balcony at Cuzco, when
the husband came out and cut the rope ladder; Carbajal fell 20 feet
and was killed.
[25] Alonso Riquelme, the Treasurer, was appointed to that office by
Charles V, and went out with Pizarro. He was in favour of murdering
Atahualpa. He was at the founding of the city of the Kings (Lima) on
Jan. 18, 1535. He was at Cuzco when Almagro arrived from Chile. When
Pizarro was murdered he was at Lima where he continued to reside. He
joined the Judges against the Viceroy, and was a very decided partisan
of Gonzalo Pizarro. He was then an old man, but the date of his death
is not known.
[26] Fray Geronimo de Loaysa, the first Archbishop of Lima, was
born at Talavera. One of his brothers was Archbishop of Seville and
President of the Council of the Indies. Fray Geronimo arrived at Lima
as Bishop in 1543. He did what he could as a peacemaker. In 1546 he
set out for Spain, at the request of Gonzalo Pizarro, to explain the
state of affairs. But he found Gasca at Panama, and joined with him.
He was at Sacsahuana and helped Gasca in the _repartimientos_. He held
the first Council of Lima in 1551, having been promoted to Archbishop.
In the insurrection of Giron he marched against the rebels. He
befriended the two young daughters of the murdered Inca Tupac Amaru,
taking them into his house. Archbishop Loaysa died on October 25, 1575.
