EspañolPEDRO FERNáNDEZ DE LUGO
'Pedro Fernández de Lugo' (1475—1536) was the second military governor (adelantado) of the Canary Islands and governor of Tenerife and La Palma. He was the son of Alonso Fernández de Lugo. Born in Seville, Pedro arrived at Gran Canaria as a young child and later accompanied his father to expeditions to Barbary. In 1509, his father gave him some of the rights and powers over the coast of Africa that he had acquired in 1499. Pedro commanded the tower of Santa Cruz de Mar Pequeña and participated in expeditions against the Berbers alongside the Portuguese.
At the age of sixty, he participated in an expedition to present-day Colombia in the New World. Backed financially by Cristóbal Francesquini and Juan Alberto Gerardini, a Florentine residing in Tenerife from 1510, Pedro Fernández de Lugo
departed in 1535. He arrived at Santa Marta in 1536. He died there that year.
