Hernan Peraza the Younger

[6][7] Elvira de Sotomayor, Rejón's widow, and other relatives filed complaints in court against Peraza for the murder of the captain, being called to the presence of the Catholic Monarchs.

As conditions for royal forgiveness, achieved through the intercession of Peraza's high-level friends and relatives in court, he was forced to marry Beatriz de Bobadilla y Ulloa-Ossorio, and also made to collaborate in the conquest of Gran Canaria that was taking place at that time.

Thus, in 1482 Peraza marched to Agaete with about eighty of his Gomeran vassals, the translator Juan Mayor, and about 70–80 men left by his father from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, and collaborated with Alonso Fernández de Lugo.

Together they managed to capture the king (or guanarteme) of Gáldar, Tenesor Semidán, who after being baptized collaborated with the conquerors attracting many of his former vassals, leading to the consummation of the conquest soon after.

That same year Peraza was besieged in the tower of San Sebastián by the rebellious Gomeras, requesting through his mother the help of the Governor of Gran Canaria, Pedro de Vera.

Beatriz was of the powerful and wealthy Bobadilla family yet had earned the notorious nickname “The Huntress” for her rumored high-profile affairs with Isabella’s husband King Ferdinand II of Aragon and, later on, Christopher Columbus.

" Torre del Conde " ("Tower of the Count"), the residence tower of Hernán Peraza the Younger, originally constructed by his grandfather Hernán Peraza The Elder in 1450.
