Francisco Pizzaro was the conquistador responsible for conquering the Inca. He accomplished this by sending a friar named Vicente de Valverde to meet with the Inca emperor Atahualpa. During the meeting the Spaniards attack the Inca’s entourage and took Atahualpa hostage. To free himself, Atahualpa promised to fill the room with gold and twice with silver. Though he paid the ransom, the Spaniards refused to let him go. He was later put to death and eventually the Spaniards conquered the Incas.
