A Spanish American historian; born in Palencia. Spain, 1530 (?); died in Seville, Spain, 1581. He was apparently a soldier of fortune, lured to the scene of Pizarro's great conquest in the hope of fabulous wealth; the upshot being some fighting experiences, and "The First and Second Parts of the History of Peru" (1571), a warm and interesting, although perhaps partisan, narrative of the subjugation of the Incas.
