Execution ended Almagro's life months after his defeat. He had been captured and imprisoned following his loss in the Battle of Las Salinas. Despite attempts by his supporters to secure his release, Almagro was ultimately executed on the orders of his rival, Pedro de Valdivia. This act marked the end of Almagro's rebellion and solidified Valdivia's control over Chile.
