Capitulation or Treaty of Acobamba

The Treaty or Capitulation of Acobamba was a peace agreement between the Inca Titu Cusi Yupanqui and the Spanish Crown. This treaty was signed on August 24, 1566.
The capitulation of Acobamba took place one year later than planned. In it, Titu Cusi Yupanqui accepted to become vassal of the king, have a corregidor in their domains, receive clerics and friars to be indoctrinated, maintain a perpetual peace and return to justice blacks and Indians of other repartimientos. In return, the Inca managed to authorize the marriage of his son with Beatriz de Mendoza; that Yucay's repartimiento, which Titu Cusi would administer, be granted to him and to his niece; receive five thousand pesos of annual income for life, which would pass to their descendants; keep in his possession the encomienda of Indians and the lands he owned; and that no war or harm be done to him.
The terms of the capitulation of Acobamba contained in essence what was stipulated in the provisions, but in less detail. A significant difference with the latter is that the obligation to leave Vilcabamba was not mentioned.

On October 14, 1566, Governor Garcia de Castro made some additions to the capitulation of Acobamba, which provided that the brothers and descendants of the Inca also fulfilled the terms of that, and that Titu Cusi gave freedom to the Indians who lived in their lands so they would freely choose to leave or stay. In addition, the Inca had to go with weapons and ammunition to the royal service if necessary, refrain from making secret and public meetings, deliver the fugitives, ensure that the corregidor execute justice and provide facilities for the friars to preach in their villages and land.
