[54] The Father Provincial San Martin left Lima for Cuzco before the Bishop, though we are not told by Cieza de Leon when he set out or of the arrangements for his mission. It appears, from MS. letters, that San Martin was sent by the Viceroy to make certain proposals to Gonzalo Pizarro and, meanwhile, if possible to seduce his chief followers. Pizarro’s detailed reply to the Viceroy was dated August 2, 1544. The conduct of San Martin fully accounts for the refusal to receive the Bishop or Pero Lopez. [55] Herrera calls him Juan, and adds that he was a son of the Licentiate Vadillo who led the expedition from Uraba to Popayan, Dec. vii, Lib. viii, cap. iii. [56] Gonzalo Diaz de Pineda came with Belalcazar to the conquest of Quito. In 1536 he was sent to explore Quijos and Canelos, and his report led Gonzalo Pizarro to undertake his expedition. Pineda accompanied Pizarro, and went in search of Orellana. In 1544 he offered his services to the Viceroy, and went with Vela Nuñez to intercept Puelles with 35 mules, which cost 12,000 ducats. He turned traitor, tried to murder Vela Nuñez, and joined Gonzalo Pizarro. In 1545 Gonzalo Pizarro sent him to Piura to collect men, when the Viceroy suddenly arrived. Pineda was surprised and fled into the mountains, where he died of hunger. [57] Doña Brianda de Acuña. The Viceroy left three sons in Spain, Antonio, Juan and Cristobal, the two eldest being pages of the Empress, with the habits of Santiago and Alcantara. Antonio died when appointed Ambassador to France. Juan de Acuña Vela was Captain-General of Artillery and on the Council of War. Cristobal was Bishop of Canary, afterwards of Burgos. [58] The true story was told by one of the Inca’s sons named Titu Cusi Yupanqui, who was an eye-witness. The story in the text is quite wrong. See page 164. [59] Friar Juan Solano, born 1507, a Dominican monk, was a native of Archidona and belonged to the monastery of San Estevan at Seville. On March 1, 1543, the King made him Bishop of Cuzco, to succeed Valverde. He did not reach Cuzco until Nov. 3, 1545. He placed the first stone of the cathedral on March 13, 1560, and created the parishes of San Cristoval, San Sebastian, San Blas, and Santa Ana. He signed the agreement to appoint Gonzalo Pizarro Governor of Peru when in Lima. He went over to the other side and accompanied Diego Centeno to Huarina; but escaped from the battlefield or Carbajal would certainly have hung him. Carbajal did hang his brother Jimenes. He joined Gasca at Xauxa. He was at Sacsahuana and then resided at Cuzco. He returned to Spain and went to Rome, where he lived for many years in the convent of La Minerva, and died on Jan. 14, 1580, aged 76. [60] Guillan.
