November 1532
The Slaughter

Atahuallpa arrived in great state surrounded by his officers. Great crowds of people crammed into the square. Pizarro sent one of his priests, Friar Vicente Valverde, to speak to Atahuallpa. He said he was an ambassador from a great king overseas.

Friar Vicente explained that the Spanish ruler was a friend of God and called upon the Inca to renounce their gods. Atahuallpa asked Friar Vicente what authority he had for his belief, and the friar told him it was all written in the book he was holding. The Inca then said: "Give me the book so that it can speak to me."

Atahuallpa held the book next to his ear trying to listen to its pages. At last he asked: "Why doesn't the book say anything to me?" And he threw it on to the ground with a haughty and disdainful gesture. Father Vicente shouted that the Indians were against the Christian faith and gave the order to attack. The Spanish emerged with their guns from the porticoes around the square and fired in to the massed crowds of unarmed people.

Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno
(Letter to a King)

Wamán Poma says that the Inca and his men were amazed at what they had heard of the Spaniards from their messengers. "Instead of sleeping, these strangers mounted guard at night. They and their horses were supposed to nourish themselves on gold and silver. Above all, it was said that all day and all night the Spaniards talked to their books and papers, which were called quilca."

Answer 1

The Spanish did not offer Atahuallpa anything during the encounter in November 1532 that led to his capture and eventual execution. Instead, the Spanish used deceit and violence to overpower the Inca emperor and his followers. Friar Vicente Valverde, the Spanish priest who spoke to Atahuallpa, demanded that the Inca renounce his gods and accept Christianity, which Atahuallpa rejected. The friar then gave the order to attack, and the Spanish soldiers opened fire on the unarmed Inca followers, killing many of them. Atahuallpa was taken prisoner and held for ransom, which the Inca people paid, but the Spanish still executed him.
