Global InformationCuxirimay Ocllo information
Cuxirimay Ocllo (born before 1532 - d. after 1576), also known as Doña Angelina Yupanqui, was a princess and consort of the Inca Empire by marriage to her cousin, the Sapa Inca Atahualpa (r. 1532–1533).
She played a discreet but important political role in the environment of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, first as wife of Atahualpa and later by becoming a concubine to Francisco Pizarro. Historian Néstor Taboada describes her as "mysterious, seductive, impudent, deceptive, tough and independent" and compared her role to that of La Malinche during the conquest of the Aztec Empire.[1]
