 Alonso de Ercilla y Zuniga Biography / Biography of Alonso de Ercilla y Zuniga Main Biography
Alonso de Ercilla was born in Madrid on Aug. 7, 1533, the youngest child of a distinguished father high in governmental circles and a tutor of Prince Philip, later Philip II of Spain, and of an aristocratic mother of royal lineage.
Ercilla practically grew up in the royal household and was a companion of Prince Philip on his early travels, including the journey to London in 1554 to wed Mary Tudor, Queen of England.
Ercilla thus initiated the concept of the "noble savage," destined to have wide literary currency in European literature 2 centuries later.

Ercilla received a very thorough education, for, besides having the most learned teachers, he enjoyed the advantages of very extensive travelling and of living at court where he came in contact with high personages.
Ercilla continued on his way to Peru, and in 1557 joined the forces of García Hurtado de Mendoza, who had recently been appointed Governor of Chile.
Ercilla's great work is La Araucana, an epic poem of thirty-seven cantos, describing the difficulties encountered by the Spaniards during the insurrection in Arauco, and the heroic deeds of the natives as well as his companions.

Ercilla grew up in the court of the prince, later king Philip II, and received an excellent renaissance education.
His poem, La Araucana, published in three installments (1569, 1578, 1589) is partly an account of Ercilla's own experiences on the battlefield against the Indians, but also narrates other events of European history and the chivalric tradition in the manner of Ariosto.
This is the first epic poem written in the New World and became a model for succeeding generations.
