Pachacuti - Lineage

Lineage

Pachacuti, son of Inca Viracocha, was the fourth of the Hanan dynasty. His wife's name is given as Mama Anawarkhi or Coya Anahurque. He had two sons: Amaru Yupanqui and Tupac Inca Yupanqui. Amaru, the older son, was originally chosen to be co-regent and eventual successor. Pachacuti later chose Tupac Inca because Amaru was not a warrior. He was also the first one to retire.

Famous quotes containing the word lineage:

    I declare
    Two lineages electrify the air,
    That will like pennons from a mast
    Fly over sleep and life and death
    Till sun is powerless to decoy
    A single seed above the earth:
    Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
