They will be forever in my memory and in my prayers.

The last post was a tribute to one of my grandmothers my sixteen grandmother Isabel Nunes.



Vergara Bracamonte's house La Laguna Tenerife.

This is a tribute to one of my ancestors who was burned by the Inquisition of Seville and to his descendents by eight lines. 










She was Isabel Lopes wife of Nuno Nunes and mother of Alonso Nunez Villavicencio and  Nuno Nunes Villavicencio who came to the city of La Laguna in the early sixteenth century. In the book of Lucien Wolf Jews in the Canary Island page six is counted as Alonso Nunez was found crying and praying because his mother was imprisoned in the castle of the Inquisition of Seville: This registered in August 15, 1520 in Seville, page 142 files of the Inquisition in the Canary Islands also registered the case against Isabel Lopes in the archives of the Inquisition of Seville, National Historical Archive.

These are some of my ancestors descendants of Isabel Lopes:

Magdalena Nunez Villavicencio married in 1584 with Salvador Perez de Medina / La Laguna, Tenerife.

Mateo Diaz Villavicencio married in 1619 with Catalina Tabares / La Laguna, Tenerife.

Andres Diaz Villavicencio married in 1625 with Polonia Bethencourt / Tejina, Tenerife.

Maria Nunez Villavicencio married in 1642 with Juan Perez Canican / La Laguna, Tenerife.

Amaro Lopez Villavicencio married in 1656 with Magdalena Hernandez / La Laguna, Tenerife.

Pedro Medina Villavicencio married in 1670 with Catalina Estevez / La Laguna, Tenerife.

Francisca Lorenzo Villavicencio married in 1732 with Lucas Hernandez Prieto / Tejina, Tenerife.

Maria Perez Villavicencio married in 1740 with Salvador Gonzalez Rico / La Laguna, Tenerife.


Note that all of them for centuries strove to perpetuate its tradition and lineage. Thanks to all of them, its struggle and its legacy. 

They will be forever in my memory and in my prayers.

  1. Buenas tardes, yo tengo la rama de los Nuñez Villavicencio de La Laguna Tenerife. Le aporto este dato, que contrasta con el suyo: Pedro Nuñez Villavicencio e Isabel Lopez, naturales de Cordoba, España, casados tienen por hijos a Alonso Nuñez Villavicencio y Nuño Nuñez Villavicencio. Alonso se establece en Tenerife por 1515, caso con Ana Sanchez, con sucecion. Nuño caso con Mencia Díaz de Clavijo y otorgo testamento por 1529 en La Laguna, Tenerife, con suesion. Esta documentación se encuentra el el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Tenerife. El investigador Cebrian Latasa los califica de judíos conversos. Un saludo
