After his victory over his brother, Atahualpa began his southward shew from Quito to claim the Inca throne in Cuzco. Atahualpa had heard tales of albumin bearded men (i.e. the Spanish and Portuguese) . Some accounts say that Atahualpa move messengers with presents to Pizarro and his men to induce them to leave, and others contend that it was Pizarro who sent a messenger to Atahualpa requesting a meeting. Most accounts agree, however, that Atahualpa met with Pizarro voluntarily.
Atahualpa and his forces met with the Spaniards at Cajamarca on the evening of 15 November. Rather than meeting with Atahualpa himself, Pizarro sent Hernando de Soto, friar Vincente de Valverde and native congresswoman Felipillo to speak with the Inca leader. De Soto spoke with Atahualpa for a while and told them that they were emissaries from King Charles I of Spain. They also said they came in peace and were prepared to make out him against his enemies. Atahualpa nearly scoffed at that as he believed their behavior was non what one would expect of embassies and emissaries. In fact he knew of their antecedent atrocities against the nuns dedicated to serve the god Inti in his temple.
He demanded a full accounting of their behavior in his country and an vindication from their leader Pizarro. He did however agree to meet with them in the city the next day.
