Abstract
The present study establishes a connection between the Treaty of Acobamba (1566) in Peru and the Parliament of Quilacoya (1593) in Chile, two capitulations between the Spanish Crown and indigenous representatives, so far analyzed as two completely different phenomena, without any relation between them. The connection is established on the version of the Spaniards in both cases since the analysis is based on the minutes of the capitulations that they elaborated. Our hypothesis that both capitulations are indeed interconnected is based on two main points: first, the content of the capitulations, which in our opinion represent fundamentally vassal relations; second, the human connection personified by Martin Garcia Onez de Loyola and his wife, Beatriz Clara Coya, protagonists in Peru and, later in 1593, in Chile as well, where Onez de Loyola assumed his position as governor.
