Diego García de Paredes (1466 – 1534),
Spanish soldier and
duellist, was a native of
Trujillo in Extremadura, Spain.He never commanded an army or rose to the position of a general, but he was a notable figure in the wars of the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, when personal prowess had still a considerable share in deciding the result of actions. His native town and its district, which lie between
Badajoz and
Madrid, produced many of the most noted
conquistadores of America, including the
Pizarro family.
