"He seized Cuzco, installed a puppet Inca, and founded Lima as his headquarters, but he fell out with his right-hand man Diego de Almagro, who took Cuzco in 1537. . . . Pizarro had him executed in Cuzco's main square. Almagro's son, another Diego and his followers took revenge three years later by forcing their way into Pizarro's palace and killing him."
