Mayta Cápac (Quechua Mayta Qhapaq Inka) ( c. 1290 – c. 1320) was the fourth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cuzco (beginning around 1290 CE) and a member of the Hurin dynasty.
Family and personal
As a son of King Lloque Yupanqui, Mayta Cápac was his heir and the father of Cápac Yupanqui. [1] His wife's name is given as Mama Tankariy Yachiy, or Tacucaray, or Mama Cuca. [2] His other children were Tarco Huaman, Apu Cunti Mayta, Queco Avcaylli, and Rocca Yupanqui. [3]: 43
Mayta's mother was Mama Cora Ocllo Coya. She died in Cuzco. [2]
Reign
Mayta Capac was referred to as the reformer of the calendar. [4] The chroniclers describe him as a great warrior who conquered territories as far as Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and Potosí. While in fact, his kingdom was still limited to the valley of Cuzco. In 1134,[ citation needed] Mayta Cápac put the regions of Arequipa and Moquegua under the control of the Inca empire.
His great military feat was the subjugation of Alcabisas and Culunchimas tribes. [3]: 43
