520 _a"An Account of the Conquest of Peru" by Pedro Sancho is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text provides a detailed narrative of the Spanish conquest of Peru, focusing particularly on the events surrounding the infamous leader Atahualpa and the actions of the Spanish conquistadors, especially Hernando Pizarro. This work is valuable not only for its historical insights but also for the ethnological information it contains regarding Inca society at the time of conquest, revealing the tumultuous dynamics between the native population and the Spanish invaders. The opening of the text introduces the circumstances following the capture of Cacique Atahualpa, highlighting the vast amounts of gold and silver acquired by the Spaniards and the political maneuvers that ensued. It details Pizarro’s decision to keep Atahualpa prisoner while leveraging his capture for economic gain, and consequently outlines Atahualpa's attempts to plot against the Spaniards. Despite the Inca leader's initial promises and attempts at negotiation, tensions rise, culminating in his execution. This portion of the narrative sets the stage for the chaos and shifting allegiances that characterize the Spanish conquest and foreshadows subsequent events as the Spaniards seek to solidify control over the newly conquered territory.
