notes: 
Even before Pizarro's death at the hands of the Almagro faction, a new royal governor, Vaca de Castro, was sent to Peru to settle the disturbance among the Spanish. The new governor was joined by Alonso de Alvarado and others who had supported Pizarro. The Pizarro faction fought against the forces of Almagro at the battle of Chupas in 1542, near the city of Ayacucho. This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the third part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 6. German. Imprint information from colophon.
