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:
“It is better to have the power of self-protection than to depend on any man, whether he be the Governor in his chair of State, or the hunted outlaw wandering through the night, hungry and cold and with murder in his heart.”
—Lillie Devereux Blake (1835–1913)
