Descendants[]

Ichasagua had one known descendant, Juan García Chasagua, who lived towards the end of the sixteenth century.

Death[]

Ichasagua did not accept the so-called "Peace of Los Realejos" that led to the conquest of the island ^[2] and died as the last Mencey of Tenerife, killed by native inhabitants who supported the Castilian domination.
