Cayancaru

Cayancaru

Cayancura or "Cayeucura" [Diego de Rosales, Historia..., Tomo II, Capítulo LI] , a Mapuche native to the region of Marigüenu, chosen as toqui in 1584, to replace the captured Paineñamcu. His one great operation was an attempted seige of the fort at Arauco that failed, leading to his abdication of his office in favor of his son Nangoniel in 1585.
