Variant namesBiographical notes:
Azlor y Virto de Vera, Marquis de Aguayo (1677-1734) was born in Spain and moved to Mexico with his wife, Ignacia Xaviera, in 1712.
In 1719 he became governor and captain general of the provinces of Coahuila and Texas. In 1720, he formed the Aguayo expedition to reoccupy East Texas missions and presidios abandoned by the French, thus cementing Spain's claim to Texas. Aguayo is considered responsible for beginning colonization in Texas. In 1722 he resigned the governorship due to ill health.
