Leonor Curicuillor
Open-knowledge reference entry
Leonor Curicuillor (born c. 1513 - d. after 1536), was a princess of the Inca Empire.
She was the daughter of Inca Huáscar (r. 1527-1532). She is the subject of a love story which was described in the chronicle of Cabello de Balboa. She reportedly fell in love with Quilaco, an army captain in the army of her uncle prince Atahualpa. Her father did not approve of her choice because of the enmity between him and Atahualpa, Cuzco and Quito. The love story between her and Quilaco was discontinued and they were separated by the Incan civil war.
After this, the Spaniards arrived in the Inca Empire.

Why this record matters
“Leonor Curicuillor” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Leonor, Curicuillor and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113517579. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1513, 1536, 1527 and 1532.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
