Don Diego Dionisio de Pefialosa Brizefio was governor of New Mexico from 1661 to 1664. He was appointed in 1660 by the first of the dukes of Alburquerque, serving as viceroy of New Spain, Don Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva. The city of Alburquerque was not named for this viceroy. Don Juan Domingo de Mendoza was maestre de campo during the rule of Pefalosa. This governor was born in Peru. He was a great falsi- falsifier.

O., 422, where it appears that he had been a resident of the Villa of Santa Fe ‘‘Since I was 17 years of age up to the year ’80, which was the year of the insurrection and general rebellion.’? He was sixty-nine years of age in 1693 and had at the Villa of Santa Fe on the seventh day of January, sixteen hundred 3 capacity, several of the Pueblo towns, notably Zuii and Moqui. He had trouble with the Franciscan frayles, was imprisoned in the City of Mexico and, in February, 1668, was forced to march through the streets of the capital, carrying a green candle, because of slanderous statements made by him against the Santo Oficio. At the time of his visit to the City of Mexico he endeavored to induce the viceroy to organize an expedition for the exploration of the countries lying to the north of the ‘‘kingdom of New Mexico’’— Teguayo — but failed. Pefalosa left New Spain and went to London and Paris, in 1671-3, where he attempted to organize an expedition against the Spanish king, Felipe IV. While in these capitals he assumed the title of Cénde de Santa Fe. Pefialosa presented to the French government the narrative of an expedition alleged to have been made by himself, in 1662, to the Quivira country; this narrative was alleged to have been written by a Franciscan friar, Padre Freitas, and sent officially to the viceroy, the Cénde de Bafios, and by him to the king. Pefialosa never explored the land of the Quiviras (Pawnees), nor was any such report ever made by him. It was made up from the narrative of the expedition to that country commanded by Juan de Ofiate, in 1601. The falsity of this report was first brought to the attention of students by Fernandez Duro, a Spanish author, who, in 1882, in a report to the Royal Academy of History, entitled Don Diego de Pefialosa y su descubrimiento de Reino de Quivira, placed this governor in his true light of braggart Countersigned by Barbas, civil and military secretary; seal attached; incomplete. A Cabo de Despacho was a title given to officers of the grade of corporal; these were charged with special duties; there were other ‘‘Cabos’’ — Cabo de Cavalleria, Cabo de Vara, ete. The town of Tomé, in Valencia county, New Mexico, received its name from this Spanish officer. The ruins of his rancho are mentioned in the archives. The place, in all probability, was destroyed during the uprising of 1680. bats aa ne Bike ek DRG Bey BG Bod ak Bet a eS ddd Se ed teh.
