Description
Inca Roca (Inka Roq'a) was the sixth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco (beginning around 1350) and the first of the Hanan (upper) dynasty. His wife was Mama Michay, and his son was Yawar Waqaq. He had four famous sons, Inca Paucar, Huaman Taysi Inca, and Vicaquirau Inca. Vicaquirau Inca and Roca's nephew Apu Mayta were great warriors, who helped subjugate Muyna, Pinahua and Caytomarca. In legend, he is said to have conquered the Chancas, as well as established the yachaywasi, schools for teaching nobles. More soberly, he seems to have improved the irrigation works of Cuzco and neighboring areas, but the Chancas continued to trouble his successors. He died in 1380 at the age of 103 years.
