The Sapa Inca was a dynamic force in the Inca world. As you read, recognize his
significance and his substantial role within the Inca Empire.

In addition, the job of a Sapa Inca took credentials that were above
the job skill of many. He took care of the fundamentals of his kingdom, and
more. The Sapa Inca was responsible for his subjects well-being of his
subjects: their health, their full stomachs, and, above all, their loyalty. He
5.
had to make laws that his subjects could follow, and he had to convince
them of his worth (Society of the Inca, Barbara A. Somerville). The
peasants returned the favor by annually sacrificing their young, to show
their undying love for their fearless leader. As mentioned before, The Sapa
Inca had to keep his territory and citizens safe, making him a skilled warlord.
If the Sapa Inca felt threatened, he would use his un-imaginably large army
to conquer land and subjects, as well as security. Nearly every plot of this
land would be later used as a reward for possible rebels, such as priests and
people of great wealth, to keep them quiet, and on the down-low (World
of the Inca, History World.)

Atahualpa
An example, of one of these fierce and fearless emperors is Atahualpa;
known for his dignity and the honor of being the last Sapa Inca of the free Inca
Empire. To begin with, Atahualpa may have been the emperor for only a short
time but he accomplished much and his rule was beneficial. Atahualpa was the
emperor or Sapa Inca from 1532- 1533 (Atahualpa A&E). He was born in 1502,
and therefore died around the age of 31. Atahualpa was buried on the 29th of
August in 1533 (Atahualpa). Equally important, Atahualpa was the 14th Sapa
Inca. He was born to Alusto Pacho and Huayna Capac who was emperor previous
to Atahualpa.
In addition, nothing good happens when two brothers fight, which is
exactly what happened here. While Huanya Capac had been ruler he allowed his
sons to each rule a part of the empire ( Huascar and Atahualpa). As a result,
when he died his sons fought over the empire. The kingdom had been divided in
two and eventually Atahualpa won the honor of being Sapa Inca of the whole Inca
Empire (Atahualpa A&E). The civil war raged from 1527- 1532 (Huascar and
Atahualpa: An Inca Civil War). Neither Atahualpa nor Huascar knew that
Francisco Pizzaro was plotting to attack. That would have been a substantial
piece of information to know.
Furthermore, we do know that Atahualpa was a valuable piece in the war
between the Conquistadors and the Incas, perhaps the most important and
significant piece on the chess board. On 17 November the Spaniards sacked the
Inca army camp, in which they found great treasures of gold, silver, and emeralds,
(Atahualpa). Francisco Pizzaro captured Atahualpa and used him to control the
Inca Empire. They executed him because After several months of fear of
imminent attack from general Ruminahui, the outnumbered Spanish saw
Atahualpa as too much of a liability and decided to execute him. In summary,
Atahualpa was the last Inca ruler, executed by Spanish conquistador Francisco
Pizzaro in 1533, marking the end of the Inca empire, (Atahualpa A&E).
Atahualpa held his head high through the tidal waves that rocked the Inca nation;
and during the last crumbling stone of the once great nation, and for that he was
respected.

INCA NOBILITY
This exclusive look into the secret life of an Inca nobility
(the rank of an Inca) offers a rare explanation for society, high fashion, wealth,
treatment, and behavior of the high classes of the Inca.
Many of the more popular classes had little, if anything, to do. The nobles
didnt have to pay taxes and spent their free time gathering favor with the Sapa
Inca (Inca Empire for kids). Most nobles owned plots of land, but did not work on
them and paid a very small amount of attention to them (the royals and nobility,
incas.mrdonn.org). The wealthy nobles stayed in bigger houses with lots more
rooms. Even though the higher classes had such great houses, both ranks, even
the Sapa Inca, slept on the floor around a fire (daily lives incaencyclopedia.com).
Their clothing was very similar, except that the Sapa Inca wore a gold fringe
around his head to show his status. The Emperor was virtually a god, he ruled
from Cuzco. The Sapa Inca would reward the priests with extensive land,
privileges, and riches.
