One question, and what would settle it.

What became of Juan Chocne after his forced abjuration at Cuzco?

Why it is open. The records of Cristóbal de Albornoz carry the suppression of Taki Onqoy and the abjuration of its leaders, and then stop. No later document naming Chocne has been produced. He was not tried by the Inquisition, which did not hold jurisdiction over indigenous people, so the usual sentencing paperwork does not exist for him. The gap has never been the subject of a dedicated study, so this is an absence rather than a scholarly disagreement.

What would resolve it. A search of the Cuzco ecclesiastical and notarial archives, and of the Albornoz probanzas de méritos in Seville, for any later mention of the name. Parish registers of the reducciones in the Huamanga region for the 1570s would be the other place to look.

What you are proposing, or the evidence itself. Be as specific as the question is.
The question says what would resolve it. Say how what you are sending satisfies that. This is the field an editor reads first.
A link anybody can follow to check it. A stable one if there is a choice: a permalink, a DOI, a repository record.
The full citation, so it can be quoted properly and found again if the link dies.
