Sinchi Roca

Sinchi Ruq'a (c. 1230–c. 1260) was the second Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cusco, of the Hurin dynasty, succeeding his father Manco Qhapaq. Chronicles present him as the first Inca to wear the borla of the maskaypacha, the emblem of supreme rule.

He is credited with dividing the land into districts, holding the first Inca census, and ordering ear-piercing as a mark of nobility. He was succeeded by his son Lluq'i Yupanki.
