Life and works
[edit]Salazar was the son of Pedro de Salazar, of Madrid, and Maria de Alarcon.[1] He studied law in Alcalá de Henares, then Salamanca, and finally in Sigüenza, obtaining the title of Licentiate.[2] He had a distinguished career in the Spanish colonial service, as Governor of Tenerife in the Canaries and judge in the courts of Guatemala and Mexico.[1] In 1582, he sailed for Mexico City, having served as oidor (both judge and magistrate) in Audiencia de Guatemala for six years. He was soon installed as fiscal of the Audiencia de Mexico; letters of his detailing his attempts to address important issues of the day to the king, Philip II, survive to the present.[2]
