Manco Inca rebels and escapes from Cuzco. He raises an army of 100,000 men, assembles his chiefs, and swears to drive the Spanish out of his land. From May to December, the Spanish are beseiged in Sacsayhuaman fortress and are almost defeated. Finally, Manco Inca is defeated and, accompanied by a few supporters, he flees to the fortress of Ollantaytambo and then into the jungle hills of Vilcabamba, beyond Machu Picchu. Here, he and his three sons rule a tiny kingdom of Incas for 35 years.
