Note 21 — Chapter VI
Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation
The Licentiate Antonio de la Gama was sent to Puerto Rico in 1517 to hold a residencia. He went thence to Panama where he planned improvements. Arriving in Peru he was employed to negotiate with Almagro. In 1539 Pizarro left him at Lima as his Lieutenant and Chief Judge. After the battle of Chupas he judged and condemned the rebels. Vaca de Castro sent him to Lima as his Lieutenant, but he left on the approach of the Viceroy and went to Cuzco. The Viceroy excepted him from pardon for having joined Gonzalo Pizarro. He remained at Cuzco, and was living in 1551.
