Note 29 — Chapter XIII
Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation
Pedro Alonso Hinojosa was born at Truxillo in Estremadura and came to Peru with Hernando Pizarro in 1534. He was at the siege of Cuzco, escaped from Almagro, and was Standard Bearer for the Pizarros at the battle of Salinas, April 20, 1538. He was also at the battle of Chupas. He joined Gonzalo Pizarro and went to Arequipa to secure the services of Carbajal. Gonzalo Pizarro gave him command of his fleet and he took Panama. But he was talked over by Gasca and gave up the ships to him. Gasca made him Captain-General of his army, and he was at Sacsahuana. He received Gonzalo Pizarro’s estates and mines in Charcas, where he was murdered by the rebels under Sebastian de Castilla in 1553.
