Biography
Biography
Trillo y Figueroa was born in the parish San Pedro de Cerbás, Ares, Spain, to José de Trillo and Juana Flores de León between 1618 and 1620. When Trillo y Figueroa was 11 years old, his family moved to Granada after de Trillo received inheritance from his uncle. He and his brother, Juan, then received an education, including literature, there. He participated in the poetic environment at a young age. This early exposure is attributed as where his mastery in satire derived. His brother became interested in genealogy, publishing Origen de la casa de Tobar y árbol genealógico de don Francisco Cañavera in 1662 and Noticia de la sucesión de doña María Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1664. He served in Italy for the military and upon his return to Spain dedicated himself to poetry and history. On 20 November 1640, Trillo y Figueroa married Leonor de Trillo y Figueroa, a distant relative. They had three sons named Juan Francisco, José, and Diego, on 2 February 1643, 16 September 1645, and 29 February 1648, respectively. He was the godfather of his grandson Diego's baptism in 1678. He was close friends with Pedro Soto de Rojas and annotated his work, Paraíso cerrado para muchos, jardines abiertos para pocos. A death certificate states a "Francisco de Trillos y Figueroa" was buried in parish Santiago, Granada on 25 October 1680, coinciding with the death year in sources.
