 It is said that one of her aunts, along with her grandmother Águeda Flores (daughter of Tala Canta Ilabe, the Incan governor of Talagante), had approached the young woman with the pagan practices of witchcraft.One of the first accusations against her was that she had murdered her own father, poisoning him with the dinner she had prepared for him (apparently chicken, according to Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna).This must have happened when her father was ill in bed in 1622, when she was just 18 years old.
