Paccha Duchicela

Paccha Duchicela

Paccha Duchicela (1485–1525), was, according to the priest Juan de Velasco, a queen regnant of Quito in 1487–1525 and co-reigned with her husband Huayna Capac, the Emperor of Inca Empire. As all the kings and queens of Quito, she is only mentioned by de Velasco. She was also a consort of the Inca Empire by marriage to the Sapa Inca Huayna Capac (r 1493–1527). She has been pointed out as the mother of Atahualpa.

Paccha Duchicela was the daughter of the Puruhá chief Cacha Duchicela of Quito in Ecuador. She was the heir of her father's throne, and when Quito became a vassal of the Inca Empire, she was married to the Inca emperor. Her right to the throne of Quito was thereby transferred to the royal Inca dynasty. She is reported to have had four children by the Inca; that she was the mother of Atahualpa is not confirmed. The existence of the kingdom of Quito and therefore her existence is not confirmed either and has been questioned by several historians due to a lack of archeological data.

Huayna Capac

Huayna Capac ( WY-nə KAP-ak; Cusco Quechua: Wayna Qhapaq [ˈwajna ˈqʰapaχ]lit.'the young generous one'; Spanish: [ˈwajna ˈkapak]; before 1493 – 1527) was the eleventh Sapa Inca of Tawantinsuyu, the Inca Empire. He was the son of and successor to Túpac Inca Yupanqui, the sixth Sapa Inca of the Hanan dynasty, and eleventh of the Inca civilization. He was born in Tumipampa and tutored to become Sapa Inca from a young age.

Tawantinsuyu reached its greatest extent under Huayna Capac, as he expanded the empire's borders south along the Chilean coast, and north through what is now Ecuador and southern Colombia. According to the priest Juan de Velasco he absorbed the Quito Confederation into his empire by marrying Queen Paccha Duchicela, halting a long protracted war. Huayna Capac founded the city Atuntaqui and developed the city Cochabamba as an agriculture and administrative center. The Sapa Inca greatly expanded the Inca road system and had many qullqa (storehouses) built.

Huayna Capac died in 1527, likely from a European disease introduced to the Americas by the Spaniards. The death of him and his eldest son Ninan Cuyochi sparked the Inca Civil War, in which his sons Huáscar and Atahualpa fought over succession as the next Sapa Inca. Tawantinsuyu fell to Spanish conquests shortly after Atahualpa's victory.
