So people will remember Francisco Pizarro and his fellow conquistadors had arrived in Cajamarca in November 1533.

And they'd hold up waiting for this bloke Atahualpa, the emperor of the Incas, who's been fighting a civil war against his brother Huascar.

Exactly.

Huascar has been taken prisoner.

So Atahualpa had won the civil war, effectively.

Now, Atahualpa made this grand entrance to the town square, which we described last time.

There's this confrontation with the Dominican friar, Vicente de Valverde.

And then the Spanish charged into the square and they took him prisoner and they killed all his men.

And we ended with this bonkers scene where he's taken in, dressed in new clothes to have dinner with Pizarro.

And then to curl up with him for the night.

Yeah, and then spend the night with him.

And you suggested that Pizarro was a snorer.

which would just make things even worse, wouldn't it?

He's definitely a snorer.

Pizarro's in his 50s.

He's kind of tall.

He's broad.

He's burly.

I mean, that's a snorer.

Definitely.
