Primary record
he gave the Marquis to understand that Atabalipa was causing the assemblage of many troops in order to kill the Spaniards in Caxas
When he came, he brought the news that neither had he seen anything nor was there anything
there broke out among them a plague of smallpox, never seen among them before, which killed many Indians
had the land not been divided by the wars between Guascar and Atabalipa, we would not have been able to enter or win the land unless we could gather one thousand Spaniards for the task
My captains, without my knowing of it, have slain him, and for this reason I am in the understanding that you will now kill me.
The Relacién of Pedro Pizarro, completed in 1571, is based upon his personal observations from 1531 to 1555.
