Biography

[edit]

Trillo y Figueroa was born in the parish San Pedro de Cerbás, Ares, Spain, to José de Trillo and Juana Flores de León between 1618 and 1620.[2] When Trillo y Figueroa was 11 years old,[5] his family moved to Granada after de Trillo received inheritance from his uncle.[2] He and his brother, Juan,[6][7] then received an education,[2] including literature, there.[5] He participated in the poetic environment at a young age. This early exposure is attributed as where his mastery in satire derived.[8] His brother became interested in genealogy, publishing Origen de la casa de Tobar y árbol genealógico de don Francisco Cañavera in 1662 and Noticia de la sucesión de doña María Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1664.[6]

He served in Italy for the military and upon his return to Spain dedicated himself to poetry and history.[5]

On 20 November 1640, Trillo y Figueroa married Leonor de Trillo y Figueroa, a distant relative. They had three sons named Juan Francisco, José, and Diego, on 2 February 1643, 16 September 1645, and 29 February 1648, respectively. He was the godfather of his grandson Diego's baptism in 1678.[2]

He was close friends with Pedro Soto de Rojas [es][2][9] and annotated his work, Paraíso cerrado para muchos, jardines abiertos para pocos.[2]

A death certificate states a "Francisco de Trillos y Figueroa" was buried in parish Santiago, Granada on 25 October 1680,[2] coinciding with the death year in sources.[1][5]
