Yáhuar Huácac


Yáhuar Huácac or Yahuar Huacac, in Peruvian Quechua spelling Yawar Waqaq, originally Titu Cusi Huallpa and Titu Kusi Wallpa, was the seventh Inca of the kingdom of Qusqu (Cuzco) (about the year 1380).

Titu Kusi Wallpa, the son of Inca Roca (Inka Ruq'a) and Mama Micay, daughter of the chief of the Huallacan (Yucay), was kidnapped as a child by the Ayarmaca living northwest of Qusqu. The marriage of his parents had annoyed the Ayarmacas, for Micay had been promised to their chief Tocay Cápac (Tuqay Qhapaq) as wife. From this period of suffering comes his name Yawar Waqaq, which means Quechua as much as "the blood cries". Out of compassion, the Ayarmaca gave up the plan to kill the child. His father finally managed to free him by diplomatic skill with the aid of the wife of the Tuqay Qhapaq, Chimbo Orma (Chimpu Urma). Later, he was married to Mama Chiquia, a daughter of the Tuqay Qhapaq, so that the Ayarmaca were integrated into the dominion of the Incas as a coalition partner.
