Note 25 — Chapter IX

Alonso Riquelme, the Treasurer, was appointed to that office by Charles V, and went out with Pizarro. He was in favour of murdering Atahualpa. He was at the founding of the city of the Kings (Lima) on Jan. 18, 1535. He was at Cuzco when Almagro arrived from Chile. When Pizarro was murdered he was at Lima where he continued to reside. He joined the Judges against the Viceroy, and was a very decided partisan of Gonzalo Pizarro. He was then an old man, but the date of his death is not known.
