Francisco Martínez Guajardo married Inez Navarro in Saltillo sometime after 1580.
The Navarro family is Basque and had for generations been soldiers in the service
of Spain, France and the Pope.
Inez's great-grandfather was Pedro Navarro. Pedro Navarro (1460-1528) was a
soldier known for his developments in the use of arms in warfare. He was born in
the town of Garde in the Navarrese valley of Roncal in modern-day northeastern
Spain. Little is known of his early life. He began his military career under the
service of Cardinal Juan de Aragon prior to 1485. He fought against the Barbary
pirates in Italy as a Condottiere. Later he enlisted with Gonzalo Fernández de
Córdoba (1499) and took part in the capture and siege of Cephalonia (1500); his
skillful employment of mines allowed for the breaching of the walls of the Turkish
fortress. He continued in the service of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba and went
on to Naples, and defended Canosa (1502) and Taranto (1503) against the French;
supervised the construction of the field fortifications at the Battle of Cerignola, that
enabled Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba to win his battle with Louis d'Armagnac,
Duke of Nemours (April 28). He played a major role in the Spanish victory at the
Garigliano River (December 29). He was made count of Oliveto for his services.
After returning to Spain (1507) he took part in Jimenez's expeditions to North Africa.
Navarro aided in the capture of Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera (1508) by employing
a floating battery of his own design during the battle. He went on to fight at the capture
of Mazalquivir (Mers-el-Kébir) and Oran (1509). He personally led Spanish forces
during the conquest of Bougie (Béjaïa), Algiers, Tunis, Tlemcen, and Tripoli (1510).
He then enlisted in the service of Ramon de Cardona viceroy of Naples and returned
to Italy upon hearing of a new war against France (1511). There he constructed a
number of light carts mounted with light artillery pieces designed to break up enemy
formations (1512).
Despite his efforts the Spanish Papal army was defeated and he was captured by the
French under command of Gaston de Foix at Ravenna (April 11, 1512). Fernando II
of Aragon refused to ransom him, and he eventually entered the service of Francis I
of France. He went on to accompany the French armies in their campaign against
Milan (1515-1516); fought alongside King Francis against the Swiss at the battle of
Marignano (September 13-14, 1515); continuing in French service, he fought at the
Battle of Bicocca (April 27, 1522) and was taken prisoner when the Spanish captured
Genoa early the following year (1523); released after the Treaty of Madrid (January
14, 1526), he returned to French service; again being taken prisoner while serving the
French expedition in Italy (1527), he died in the Neapolitan prison of Castel Nuovo
(1528). Navarro was possibly the finest military engineer of his time. He began his
career as an enlisted man and rose to the rank of General.
Inez's grandfather was Juan Navarro (b. 1488). He was a conquistador of Mexico. He
traveled to Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) in 1514; Cuba in 1519 and Mexico
with Narvaez to arrest Cortez. There he joined Cortez for the conquest of the Aztecs.
Inez's father was Juan Navarro, el mozo, who in 1556 was one of the discoverers and
first settlers of the mines of San Martín, Durango and in 1561 he was the owner of a
farm in the valley of Sichú where he built in the first ore-crushing mill in northern
Mexico. He was "one of the five on horseback" who accompanied Pedro de Ahumada
Sámano in the very dangerous entry into "Malpaís," in the war against the Guachichiles
and Zacatecos Indians. He was wounded on one side. In 1577 he entered the Northern
frontier with Alberto del Canto to found Saltillo, Coahuila. On April 1, 1578, Juan
Navarro, received from Martín López de Ibarra a grant of land in the valley of el
Pirineo (Parras, Coah.). September 2, 1591, he was the mayor of Saltillo and on
December 15, 1593, deputy of the magistrate of the first mayor. He built the first
flour mill in Saltillo and the area that served both the Spanish and the Tlaxcalan
settlers. The flour mill was inherited by his grandsons who continued to run it for
generations.
