occupied by the Viceroy, and the troops were taken to their quarters. This took place in the end of October, 1544, forty days after the arrest of the Viceroy. Gonzalo only occupied himself with military matters, the Judges exercising their authority as a Court of Justice, with sittings in the house of the Treasurer Riquelme. Alonso de Toro was sent to Cuzco, Pedro de Fuentes to Arequipa, Francisco de Almendras to Chuquisaca as Lieutenants of the Governor. There was one more execution of an opponent who talked too much, one Diego Gumiel. _Escape of Garcilasso de la Vega._ Carbajal did not succeed in arresting Garcilasso de la Vega, who fled from Cuzco. When the Camp Master knocked at his door that night, it was opened by a soldier named Hernando Perez Tablero, a native of Almendral in the dukedom of Feria, and foster-brother of Alonso de Vargas the brother of Garcilasso de la Vega. He was an old servant of the family. As soon as he saw the dreaded Camp Master he ran to Garcilasso and warned him. The knight got out by a back way and escaped into the convent of Santo Domingo. He was received by the monks and concealed in a vault, where he remained for more than four months. Old Carbajal searched for him several times in the convent until, through the intercession of friends, he was at last pardoned. But Gonzalo Pizarro always kept him a prisoner, living in Gonzalo’s tent and never being allowed to go out of his sight, until Sacsahuana. So that he was unwillingly at the battle of Huarina. [68] _sic._ [69] One witness said that, after the first blow, Cueto said, embracing the Viceroy, “_no more, Sir, for the love of God_,” yet he was killed by the servants with many stabs. Ribadeneira, Tapia, Vela (a relation) and other attendants were present. [70] By order of Alonso de Lerma, Ensign to the General Vela Nuñez, two negroes took the body of the Factor to bury it secretly. Afterwards the body was ordered to be disinterred, and the numerous deep poniard wounds were seen and noted. Finally it was again buried very honourably. [71] The Viceroy’s wild scheme was to abandon Lima, taking all the inhabitants to Truxillo, men by land, women and children by sea.
