== Biography == The origin of his name is uncertain. One story is that Huáscar was named after a huge gold chain that was made to mark the occasion of his birth. "Huasca" is Quechua for "chain". Because his father did not think "chain" was an appropriate name for a prince, he added an r to the end of the name to make "Huáscar". Another story is that his name is from his birthplace, Huascarpata.
