Huánuco Kingdom (Yaro/Yarowilca)

1200 – 1450
KingdomSouth America

A pre-Inca Andean kingdom of the upper Marañón basin (modern Huánuco department, Peru), remembered by the colonial chronicler Guaman Poma de Ayala — himself descended from its rulers — as ruled by more than thirty monarchs under the hereditary title 'Yarowilca'.

Absorbed by the expanding Inca Empire in the mid-15th century (conquest era, c. 1450s per secondary sources); the Yaro/Huánuco identity survived into the colonial period, notably through the lineage of Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, who identified as 'Yarovilca-Huánuco'.
