Don Baltasar de la Cueva y Enríquez de Cabrera, ''iure uxoris'' Count of Castellar and Marquis of Malagón (sometimes ''Baltasar de la Cueva Enríquez de Cabrera y Arias de Saavedra'') (1626 in Madrid – April 2, 1686〔(Genealogy of Baltasar de la Cueva and Teresa María de Saavedra )〕) was viceroy of Peru from August 15, 1674 to July 7, 1678. He was a younger son of the Duke of Alburquerque, and brother of Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 8th Duke of Alburquerque, who served as Viceroy of New Spain.〔 ("Baltasar de la Cueva Enríquez" at ''Biografías y Vidas'' )〕 He married Teresa María Arias de Saavedra, 7th Countess of Castellar. ==His administration== He was welcomed upon his arrival in Peru at the port of Callao on August 11, 1674 with the celebration of a corrida. There were also bullfights in Lima on November 6, 1674.〔 ("Historia de las Ferias Taurinas en Perú" )〕 On November 15, 1674 he reported to the Spanish Court that it was necessary to reduce the number of holidays in the viceroyalty, because the number then "exceeded 35, that, together with religious holidays, almost means that the greater part of the year is a holiday". On May 14, 1676 the Court issued a decree approving a reduction. During his period of administration, the laws of the Indies were compiled.〔 (''Pueblos Indíginas de Bolivia'' )〕 Viceroy Cueva took steps to protect the Pacific coast from English and Dutch pirates. In 1675 he sent Antonio de Vea to investigate reports that the English had established bases in Patagonia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baltasar de la Cueva, Count of Castellar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
