Signature Alonso de Vera y Aragon, the Tupi
advance political enemies, led by Juan Caballero de Bazan, tried by all means that no relative advance of occupying positions of lieutenant, but the inhabitants of the city of Vera appeal the decision of the Real Audiencia de la Plata through a letter from the Chapter on August 20, 1588, which signified: " because Alonso de Vera said rules in many uniformity of all soldiers and her neighbors without injury to anyone, much recollection. " A similar situation arises when the government takes on Fernando de Zarate, it is known that every governor appointed his lieutenants at the time of taking office. Again the city council is in favor of the continuity of Tupi, presented a petition on August 9, 1593, which signified: " beseech your lordship on behalf of all of this city, we provide for lieutenant governor Captain Alonso de Vera y Aragón as to become a father for this stock and spent their wealth and we understand that this city will help increasing. " The high emotional content of this request exceeds the formalism of the time, is more than obvious affection and respect that people had for the Tupi.
Alonso de Vera y Aragón ruled the city until November of 1596, was replaced by Captain Garci Rodríguez de Arellano of title issued by Governor Juan Ramirez de Velasco. Were eight long years of government in the most difficult times which govern the Tupi touched. During this time the city stand the continuous attack of the Guarani Indians of the Paraná above that surrounded the fort and the population was nearly lost, the siege of the city was a result of the massacre where cassava English twenty-two lost their lives in the hands of the Guarani, and emboldened by their success they decided to besiege the city and try to destroy it. The city was devastated and most of the cattle that had been brought to the foundation had fled to the campaign, the Tupi went to the city of Asuncion where the coast brought more livestock to the livelihoods of villagers. During his rule the city was organized and conducted the first deliveries of parcels and land for farms.
know nothing of his life from the moment they leave the government until the year 1603 that is elected by the outgoing chapter for the post of assistant mayor of the Holy Brotherhood, a distinction did not assume it was busy in the preparation of information of merit and service to advance his uncle and although he was summoned by the governor Hernandarias, open enemy of the family Vera y Aragón, to take office, he apologized presenting a provision of the Audiencia Real de la Plata in urging that no justice will prevent the conduct of its business. In 1607 returned to a position of importance in our city to be appointed judge by Gov. Hernandarias Estate, where he was responsible for reviewing the performance of the previous governor's staff in our city.
Regarding family life, we know that the Tupi had for his only son to Don Pedro de Vera y Aragón, ignore the name of his wife and if he was married. His son, underage, was united in marriage with Dona Ines Mansilla Arias, daughter of Francisco Arias Mansilla and Dona Lucia de Espinosa, also residents of the City of Vera. This marriage produced a son named Don Alonso de Vera, who died in infancy. The Tupi probably died in the city of Asunción by the year 1611, at which time the severity of their disease to test a power granted to Captain Andrew Lobato de Godoy, intimate family friend Vera y Aragón.
The love I had for the Tupi Indians nature was demonstrated in one of the clauses of his will, expressing be given to the Indians of his encomienda a quarter of its right in the wild cattle that were in the jurisdiction of the City of San Juan de Vera and utilizing the said livestock for their livelihoods, in exchange for this donation requested the Indians they paid to the trustee of the Franciscan convent hundred masses for his soul. The generosity of Tupi is again manifested in his son Peter, who by means of a donation letter issued on 1 September 1611, exempted Indians from paying a hundred masses.
is noteworthy that in our city there is no monument to honor his memory. However, there is little plaza bearing his name, but was changed at the initiative of a council with marked ideological prejudices. While the first settlers father called it this population, the passage of time and ignorance of his human qualities and performance have made valuable him go unnoticed. With the advent of the inauguration of the new stretch of the Costanera Avenue, would be just that somewhere in it, for example in the roundabout, do a tribute in memory of our first lieutenant governor, being the place indicated more than adequate, as it was in the same place where he began working for our city, was where he first landed and to our city.
