AVILA Y ZUNIGA, LUIS DE (c.1490 C. 1560)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 65 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AVILA Y ZUNIGA, LUIS DE (c.1490 C. 1560) , Spanish historian, was
born
  at Placentia. He was probably of low origin, but married a wealthy heiress of the family of Zuniga, whose name he added to his own. He rose rapidly in the favour of the emperor
Charles
  V., served as
ambassador
  to Rome, and was made grand
commander
  of the order of the Knights of Alcantara. He accompanied the emperor to Africa in 1541, and having served during the war of the league of
Schmalkalden
 , wrote a
history
  of this war entitled Commentaries de la guerra de Alemana, hecha de Carlos V en el alto de 1546 y 1547. This was first printed in 1548, and becoming very popular was translated into
French
 , Dutch,
German
 , Italian and Latin. As may be expected from the author's intimacy with
Charles
 , the
book
  is very partial to the emperor, and its misrepresentations have been severely criticized.
