Chunsua

Chunsua represented the northern Muisca chiefdoms of the Colombian Andes. Their paramount lord, the hoa or zaque, ruled from Hunza, later the site of Tunja, with Sugamuxi and Tundama as allies.

In 1490 the hoa Michuá and the southern zipa Saguamanchica fell at Chocontá. Michuá's successor Quemuenchatocha fought the southern Muisca until a truce was brokered by Sugamuxi's iraca. In 1537 Spaniards seized Hunza and captured him despite his attempt to buy them off with gold and emeralds. His nephew Aquiminzaque, the last hoa, rebelled and was beheaded at Tunja in 1540.
