Qusqu
Qusqu was an Andean city-state in the Cusco valley, from which the Inca Empire grew. In 1337 Capac Yupanqui of the Hurin Cusco dynasty ruled the small kingdom, a rival of the larger Ayarmaca.
Around 1350 Capac Yupanqui was poisoned and Inca Roca seized power, founding the Hanan Cusco dynasty. In 1438 Prince Pachacuti repelled a Chanka invasion that nearly destroyed Cusco, took the throne and reorganized the kingdom into an empire. The Spanish captured Cusco in 1533.
