His father was Inca Roca (Inka Ruq'a). Yawar's wife was Mama Chicya (or Chu-Ya) and their sons were Viracocha (Wiraqucha), Paucar Ayllu, and Pahuac Hualpa Mayta. Yawar's name refers to a story that he was abducted as a child by the Sinchi (Warlord) Tocay Ccapac of the Ayarmaca nation, crying tears of blood over his predicament. He eventually escaped with the help of one of his captor's mistresses, Chimpu Orma. Assuming the reign at the age of 19, Yawar conquered Pillauya, Choyca, Yuco, Chillincay, Taocamarca and Cavinas.[3]:47–53

Notes

  1. Quechua yawar blood, waqaq crying, crier; literally "the one who cries blood" or "blood crier"[1]
gollark: Why? It isn't like the video streaming industry where each service has a different catalog.
gollark: That's very boring compared to saying superior things like "you are literally purely composed of positively charged K mesons right now".
gollark: So is saying "go away".
gollark: On said elbow.
gollark: Can you still feel other pain-related things like pressure, temperature, water, etc?
