[edit]

In the book by Stuart Stirling on Pizarro I've seen dates of life 1501-1578. On the other hand, I've also read in other sources that he lived for 100 years. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? Jasra 21:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

His parents married in July 1503 [1] and he was a legitimate child. So he cannot be born before 1503 — Wassermaus (talk) 19:15, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Legitimate vs. Born in wedlock

[edit]

I have changed "legitimate" to "born in wedlock" because I think the latter phrase is more neutral and descriptive. The term "legtimate" seems vague to me, mainly because it leaves one to guess at what is the source of the legitimacy. Ultimately of course it links to the discussion at Legitimacy (law) where it is obvious that marital status is what is at issue. But still this discussion seems too narrow to me. "in wedlock" links to the same discussion for lack of anything better, but a discussion of various cultural (including legal) implications of circumstances of birth would probably be the best sort of article. It is probably just a matter of finding it. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 14:16, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

His Sister Inés

[edit]

The legitimate son of his brother Francisco, whose name was Francisco, too (born 1539, died 1557) did NOT marry Hernando’s sister Inés but his brother Gonzalo’s daughter Inés.
