Tupaq Wallpa (alternatively Túpac Huallpa or Huallpa Túpac); before July 1533 – October 1533), original name Awki Wallpa Túpaq, was the first vassal Sapa Inca installed by the Spanish conquistadors, during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire led by Francisco Pizarro.

Life

Tupaq Wallpa, born in Cusco, was a younger brother of Atahualpa and Huáscar. After Atahualpa's execution on 26 July 1533, the Spaniards appointed Tupaq Wallpa as a puppet ruler and ensured he was crowned with great recognition and ceremony. All this was done to convince the Inca people that they were still being ruled by an Inca. Túpac died in Jauja during October 1533. He was succeeded by another brother, Manco Inca Yupanqui.
