Abstract

BATTCOCK, Clementina. The episode of the war between incas and chancas: a proposal about its construction and interpretation. Tzintzun [online]. 2013, n.57, pp.15-43. ISSN 0188-2872.

The article analyzes the version provided by the soldier chronicler of the 16th century, Pedro Cieza de León in his Chronicle of Peru about the war between incas and chancas. This famous and particular battle is recounted by different Andean chroniclers. Since, after the Inca victory began the Tawantinsuyu, or Inca Empire. Specifically, I focus to study the perspective provided by Cieza and particular and significant elements that provided this story about the episode of that confrontation.
