Garcilaso [de la Vega] wrote incorrectly that the Inca was christened Don Juan Atahualpa.. Because of this Juan de Velasco assumed, in his Historia del reino de Quito... that the baptism and execution took place on 29 August, the day of St John the Baptist. William Hickling Prescott accepted this date and it has been repeated by innumerable later writers ot this day. The Spaniards had in fact marched out of Cajamarca long before 29 August.")
