Huayna Capac, Sapa Inca, Incan Empire

Huayna Capac (1464/1468 - 1527) was the third Sapa Inca of the Inca Empire. The Inca empire reached the height of its size and power under his rule, stretching over much of Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and southwestern Colombia. In addition to building temples and other works, he greatly expanded the road network. He had storehouses built along it for food so that aid could be quickly rushed to any who were in danger of starvation. Huayna contracted a fever, perhaps from measles or smallpox. The Spaniards had carried smallpox to South America, and the Native Americans had not acquired immunity against it. Huayna and millions of other South and Central Americans died in that epidemic. He died at the age of 63. Image taken from page 99 of "Recuerdos de la Monarquia Peruana, ó bosquejo de la historia de los Incas, etc" by Justo Sahuaraura, 1850.
