TOLEDO, Antonio Sebastian de (to-lay'-do), Marquis de Mancera, viceroy of Mexico. He was a grandee of Spain and chamberlain to the queen, and had been ambassador in Venice and Germany, when in 1664 he was appointed viceroy of Mexico, and took possession of the government on 15 October of that year. In the following year St. Augustine, of Florida, then depending from the viceroyalty of Mexico, was sacked by buccaneers and the depredations of Sir Henry Morgan on the Spanish colonies began, and Toledo hastened to send means to Florida for providing fortifications and to reenforce the fleet. He sent two expeditions to California, but did not obtain any noteworthy results. In 1667 some English privateers presented themselves in front of Vera Cruz, but, finding strong fortifications, entered Alvarado river and committed depredations. In the same year the interior of the cathedral was finished after ninety-five years of work, and the building was consecrated a second time. Tired of the responsibilities of his office, Toledo solicited his relief after the conclusion of his usual term of office in 1670, but the measures that he had adopted during his government found such approval that the queen regent insisted in prolonging his term for three years. In this time the final subjugation of the Tarahumaro Indians by the capture of the principal caciques took place. On his way to Spain in 1673 Toledo lost his wife in Tepeaca, near Mexico.
