Alonso de Zuazo - As Governor of Santo Domingo

As Governor of Santo Domingo

Zuazo served as governor of Santo Domingo, on the island of Hispaniola two times — from 1524 to 1528 and again from 1531 to 1533.

He died in March 1539, still in office as oidor. (One source says 1527, but this is likely an error.)

Famous quotes containing the word governor:

    “Three years ago, also, when the Sims tragedy was acted, I said to myself, There is such an officer, if not such a man, as the Governor of Massachusetts,—what has he been about the last fortnight? Has he had as much as he could do to keep on the fence during this moral earthquake?... He could at least have resigned himself into fame.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
