He was in the siege of Cuzco and served at the battle of Chupas. He concealed himself when Gonzalo Pizarro took up arms, and was at Sacsahuana with Gasca. He fled from Cuzco when Giron rose in rebellion and served against him. He was a citizen of Cuzco and had a house there. His son went to Spain to advocate the cause of the Incas.
