The conqueror of Peru, Francisco Pizarro, had two children with Doña Inés Yupanqui Huaylas, an Inca woman.  These children were made legitimate, and, after Pizarro married their mother off to one of his retainers, cared for by Pizarro’s half brother Francisco Martín de Alcántara and his wife Doña Inés Muñoz, the first woman to be given permission to use the title “doña,” in Peru.  In the letter displayed, Doña Inés, now widowed, gives her rights to Hernando Pizarro and others to plead her case for the restoration of her wealth (Indian labor), taken away from her and Pizarro’s children by the enemy of the Pizarro family, Spanish Governor Vaca de Castro. Both she and Pizarro’s daughter, Doña Francisca, prevailed.
