Garcia Sarmiento DE Sotomayor

SARMIENTO DE SOTOMAYOR, Garcia, Count de Salvatierra, viceroy of Mexico and Peru, born in Spain about 1590; died in Cartagena, Colombia, in 1655. He was sent to replace the Marquis de Villena, who had been deposed by royal order, on suspicion of favoring the independence of Portugal, and arrived in Mexico in 1642, receiving the executive on 23 November from Bishop Juan de Palafox. In 164:4 he sent an unsuccessful expedition under Juan Gonzalez Barriga to explore and colonize California. In the next year the city suffered by an inundation of the lagoons, and the viceroy ordered the cut of , Nochistango, which had been begun by Enrique Martinez, to be repaired. The city of Salvatierra (now in the state of Guanajuato) was founded in 1647, and in the same year the viceroy was obliged to interfere between Bishop Palafox and the Jesuits. In 1648 he was promoted viceroy of Peru, and, sailing from Acapulco, he entered Lima on 20 September His government in Peru did not, present any noteworthy features, and he delivered the executive to his successor, Count de Alva de Aliste, on 24 February, 1655, dying, on his return voyage to Spain, in Cartagena.
