Abstract
e estudia la trayectoria vital del que fuera principal líder de la revuelta comunera en Baza: un personaje singular, que usó en vida dos nombres indistintamente, con una trayectoria bélica impor-tante durante la época fronteriza, la guerra de conquista del Reino de Granada y las empresas en el norte de África, así como con una notable relevancia social e institucional en esa ciudad granadina. También se analiza y transcriben sus últimas voluntades, otorgadas inmediatamente antes de ser ejecutado por orden del marqués de Mondéjar, capitán general de Granada, que aplacó la revuelta. Por último, se rastrea la huella histórica que dejó el personaje, manipulada tanto por su familia (que lo trasmudó en hijo bastardo de un aristócrata) como por sus detractores (que lo convirtieron en un simple maleante)
This work addresses the vital trajectory of the main leader of the revolt of the Comuneros in Baza: a singular personality, who during his life used two names interchangeably. This character developed an important military trajectory during the frontier era, the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada and the military actions in Northern Africa, as well as a notable social and institutional relevance in the city of Baza. We also analyse and transcribe his last will, granted immediately before being executed by order of the marquis of Mondéjar, captain general of Granada, who placated the revolt. Lastly, we follow the historical footprint that this character left, which was manipulated both by his family - who transmutated him into the bastard son of an aristocrat - and his detractors - who turned him into a simple miscreant.
