Gabriel de Rojas

One of the distinguished cavaliers of the conquest of Peru and Chili, to whom Munoz assigned the authorship of the Relacion primera of the Ondegardo. He was distinguished at the defence of Cusco, when that town was besieged by the Indians. Later, as governor of Cusco for Almagro, he had charge of Gonzalo Pizarro while he was held a prisoner, and had, later still, command of the artillery under Gasca. He died at Charcas.
