Paineñamcu[1] or Paynenancu [2] or Alonso Diaz[3], was the Mapuche toqui from 1574 to 1584. He was a mestizo Spanish soldier offended because the Governor of Chile did not promote him to the rank of alféres, who subsequently went over to the Indians in 1572. He took the Mapuche name of Paynenancu and because of his military skills was elected toqui in 1574 following the death of Paillataru. He was captured in battle and later executed in 1584.
