Pedro Bravo de Acuña (died June 24, 1606) was a Spanish military officer and colonial official in the New World and the Philippines. From 1602 to 1606 he was governor of the Philippines. ==Early career and arrival in the Philippines== Bravo de Acuña was recognized for his bravery in the Battle of Lepanto. He became a knight of the Order of St. John, and was named governor of Cartagena de Indias in Tierra Firme on the Caribbean coast in 1593. In 1601 he was named governor of the Philippines. In May 1602, he arrived in Manila in a convoy of four ships from New Spain, to take up his position as governor of the Philippines and president of the Audiencia of Manila. Francisco de Tello de Guzmán, his predecessor, was awaiting his ''juicio de residencia'' (grievance tribunal), and for that reason he remained in Manila. He died of an illness the following year, in April. Bravo de Acuña promptly began to construct galleys and other vessels in the shipyard, to defend the sea, which was full of enemies and pirates from other islands, especially from Mindanao. He was much preoccupied with settling matters with Japan and with Jolo, and he also had to see to the ships that were to make the voyage to New Spain. 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「Pedro Bravo de Acuña」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
