Royal Commentaries. BooK IV. th~t Diego Centeno .enrr.ed.iota Co:uq, as we fhall rela~e hereafrer. I have thoug~t fit to meotion chis part1cµlar pailige tp fhew the fa1thfulnefs and loyalty of chis good (;'uraca, and record che fame to ~he honour of him and chofe who defcend from him. Bu.e beli,des che Charities we received from chis good man Páuqui, I received fome mher relief from a noble .Perfon, called {ohn Efaobar, who at chat time had no command over Jndians, though fome years afrerwards Doél:our Caftro bequea- thed fome to him, upan an interrnarriage becween him and che Daughcer of Vafa11 de Gu.evara, begotten on the body of MariaEnri~c:{. , both Perfons ofHonour and Ql!a~tf.' . Tl:iis worthy G,emlem~n [ohn de Efaobar, who lodged m che Houfe of Alfimfo de Meft11, in a cercain Screer built in che rnidíl: of rny Facher's Rems, very much com- paffionacing our W~li\tS and penury, defired rny Tutour to give me leave to come every day w dinner, aFid at night to fupper wich him; we accepted very kindly, che dinner, bue as to rhe fupper, we choughc it noc convenient ro keep our doors open a,c rhat rime of che nighr ; for we were hourly in frar of being maífacred, for which we had good grounds, being always rhreamed by them; and none put us into more fear cban Hermmdo Bachicao, who was Maíler of che Ordnance; for thoug]1 he went no~ out wich chem, yec he mounted forne Cannon ac his own Houfe. ar.icj made a Barrery upon ours, which, in the Map or defcription we rnade of che Town, juft fr.omed wiro his, norhing being becween us bue onely the two Markec-pla~es of che Cicy, which he had cerrail)ly levelled to che ground, had nor fome Friends and Relarions inre!'ceded for us: Nor <lid che Relations of chofe others who revolted fare betrer chao we ; rhough rhey evidenced a more parricu- lar m¡lice and. anger againíl: rny Farher, as one who had more fignally been con- cerned in chis revolt rhan any ocher. Graviel de RojM was as deeply engaged as he, bqt having his Houfes and Po~ffions in Ch11quifaca che Ciry of Plate, they had noc che fame opporrunity to be revenged on him. Having thus vented their anger upon the Houfes of rhofe Citizens of Cow who had revolted frorn their caufe, th~y returned again into che Road of Los Reyes ro rneet ~edro de Pu1/les and the people who followed him ; bue they were very te- dious i11 rheir ma rch to Huamanca, by reafon of che greac Incumbrance of their Cannon which fqllowed che Camp. ?eronimo ·de la Serna, and Alonfo de Carceres who had revol ted wirh rhe two Ships.to Los Reyes , reponed amongíl: other rhing~ to the Vice-king, how that Gonfalo Pi far, ro was eleéted General Reprefentative of che whole Empire, and rhat he was raifing Men, and providing Ammunicion and Arrillery to ma rch unto Los Reyes. This reporc being broughc to che Vice-king and rhe Jufüces, which as yet was news to rhem ; far (as we have faid befare) che Roads being ali fiopt, they had received no ocher intelligence of Gonfalo Pifarro rhan that he was come from Co:{.co to the CharcM : bue fo foon as they underfiood that he was raifing Men, chey immediacely difpatched away Orders to che four Cities, requiring and comman- , ding them to receive E/afeo Mmne:{. Vela for Vice-king by Commiffion from his MajeHy. And rhat in cafe they had any aggrievances they fhould fend rheir Com- rniffioners to che City of Los Reyes, there to reprefent their Complaims and de- rnand Juíl:ice in chofe matters wherein they judged themfelves aggrieved. And in order hereunro, as Gomara fays, the Vice-king fenc Friar ThomM de San Martín to aífure Gonfalo Pif_arro, rhat he had no Comrnillion to his hurt or prejudice bue rather Infüuétions from the Emperour to reward and gracifie him for his :nany labours and Cervices performed towards his MajeHy : And therefore delired him that laying all fears antl. jealoufies afide, he fhould difmifs his people, and com~ freely and frankly to him to converfe and treat upon affairs. Thus far Gomar 11 • Now we will proceed to che Rebellion of Pedro de P11e/k1. CHAP.
