On February 5, 1558, during the Arauco War, Pedro de Avendaño with sixty men captured the Mapuche Caupolicán lonco of Pilmaiquén and the Mapuche Gran Toqui nearby Antiguala encamped with a small band of followers. He was taken back to Cañete, where its corregidor Alonso de Reinoso tried him for rebellion and executed him by impalement.
