 Chapter 2: Aristocrats and Traders
In many ways the Archdeacon of Niebla, Licentiate Alonso Alvarez de Córdoba, was a typical Sevillian churchman in the sixteenth century: he held a university degree and an important benefice in the Seville Cathedral and during his long career served the Archdiocese in both judicial and administrative posts.
The canons Alonso de Campos and Pedro de Fuentes, for example, were the executors of Maese Rodrigo's will, and Campos, who had studied with Santaella in Bologna, selected the first students for the college and drew up the statutes for the university in 1518.
Some of these impostors were audacious enough to seek the protection of the municipality, Juan de Herbio, for example, who, after exalting the curative powers of the philosopher's stone in a petition to the city council, asked them to allow him to practice with it and to put him on the payroll.

During the XVII century the Spanish Crown granted Alonso Pizarro Hermona de Francisco Pizarro, native of the population of Trujillo, in Spain, an ample cattle ranch that extended on both shores of the Grande de Loíza river.
The neighbors of the left (west) side shore were against the idea of populating the right (east) side of the river because during the swells they would not be able to go to the head of the population.
The persistence of the neighbors of the right shore together with their representative, Don Juan Francisco Carazo finally overcame, and on January 8, 1801 the new municipality of Trujillo Alto was constituted.
