SAAVEDRA, Juan de, Spanish soldier, born in
Seville, Spain, about the end of the 15th century; died in Chuquinga, Peru, 21
May, 1554. He went to Peru in 1584 as chief judge of the expedition of Pedro de
Alvarado, but after his arrival entered the service of Diego de Almagro, whom he
accompanied in the discovery and conquest of Chile in 1535-'6.
In the latter year he founded the city of Valparaiso,
and, on his return to Peru, he took part in the battle of Abancay, 12 July,
1537. He acted on behalf of Almagro as commissioner in the negotiations of Mala
about the boundaries of New Toledo, but was not present at the battle of
Salinas, 6 April, 1538, on account of illness.
Although he always refused the offers of the brothers
Pizarro during Almagro's life, after the latter's death Saavedra, on account of
rivalry with Juan de Rada (q. v.), retired to Lima, and took no part in the
battle of Chupas. In 1544, when Gonzalo Pizarro rose in rebellion, he appointed
Saavedra his substitute at Huanuco.
President Gasca in 1547 induced Saavedra to re-enter the
Loyalist party, appointing him captain of cavalry, which corps he commanded in
the battle of Jaquijaguana. In 1549 Gasca appointed him governor of Cuzco, but
in 1551 he was superseded by the audiencia of Lima. In 1554 the city of Cuzco
sent him with the rank of captain to join the army of Alonso de Alvarado,
operating against the rebellious Francisco Giron (q. v.), and he met his death
at the battle of Chuquinga.
