Definition

  1. 1
    Villa de la provincia de Burgos, en España. Antigua abadía benedictina deAan Salvador, luego Noviciado de Jesuitas.
  2. 2
    Poeta del siglo XVI que escribió el "Arauco domado" para ensalzar al gobernador García Hurtado de Mendoza, a pedido de este último, descontento con la "Araucana" de Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga. Es el primer poeta nacido en Chile, aunque en realidad es un español, lo mismo que Ercilla, y aunque ambos escribieron las primeras obras que conciernen a Chile, es un abuso considerarlos chilenos.
