'''Manco Inca Yupanqui''' (1516 – 1544) ), who in his early years was named Túpac Manco Yupanqui, also known as Manco Cápac II, was an Inca nobleman, military man, politician, leader and founder of the {{Wiki|Neo-Inca State}} or independent kingdom of Vilcabamba, which he ruled from 1533 to his death. Manco Inca was the son of the Inca Huayna Cápac and the Coya Mama Runtu, and half-brother of Huáscar and Atahualpa, apparently he was kept out of the disputes for the throne that they held when his father died. The abuses committed by the Spanish against the Indians led to the Manco Inca uprising in 1536. Yupanqui rebelled against the [[Spanish Empire]], , and in 1536 he started the Siege of Cuzco, a city that was occupied by the Spanish, and the Siege of Lima. The Manco Inca war, a process of the Inca reconquest war that lasted three centuries, was the largest military confrontation that the Spanish had during the Conquest of Peru; since the Incas were close to taking Cuzco and Lima, and definitively expelling the Spaniards from Tahuantinsuyo; however, before the arrival of the Spanish reinforcements, Manco took refuge in Vilcabamba to rethink his strategy and because he had to cancel to his troops for the excessive time the war was taking. He led the resistance from his independent kingdom until he was assassinated in 1545, stabbed by a group of seven Spanish almagristas, to whom the Inca had generously given protection in his own fortress, who betrayed him. Before dying he ordered his sons to continue the fight against the Hispanic invader. The sons of Manco Inca, known as the "Incas of Vilcabamba", continued their father's fight against the Spaniards from the city of Vilcabamba, the last capital of Tahuantinsuyo, until 1572; when the last of them was captured and beheaded: Túpac Amaru I.
