In 1430, he transferred ownership of the Canary islands of El Hierro, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote to Hernan Peraza the Elder, who had the rights to the remaining, not yet conquered islands. This move helped Peraza to unify all islands the Lordship of the Canary Islands and strengthen the Peraza family's footing during the islands' conquest.
