Juan Blázquez de Cáceres

Juan Blázquez de Cáceres, the Conqueror of Cáceres, was a Spanish military and nobleman.

Life

Juan Blázquez de Cáceres was born in Ávila and was at the Conquest of Cáceres, on April 23, 1229, from which he took his surname.

He was married to Teresa Alfón and had at least one son, Blazco Múñoz de Cáceres, who died at 90 years and lived in Cáceres in 1270, married to Pascuala Pérez, daughter of Pascual Pérez and wife Menga Marín, parents of Blazco Múñoz de Cáceres, Founder and 1st Lord of the Majorat of the same name, and García Blázquez de Cáceres, who by one Marina Pérez had Fernán Blázquez de Cáceres, 2nd Lord of the Majorat de Blazco Múñoz. They were the ancestors of the Marqueses de Alcántara (de Villavicencio del Cuervo, May 13, 1667). [It should be noted that, in 1751, the Expedient nr. 1,496 of "Pruebas de Caballeros aspirantes a la Real Compañia de Guardias Mariñas y Colégio Naval" testifies the legitimate male line of the then Marqués de Espinardo, from the Conqueror Juan Blázquez de Cáceres in 1229.]
