Francisco de Salazar first appears in the soldier-escorts of 1625. In 1634, he was Procurator General of New México. He was deeply involved in the Governor Rosas murder affair, and was beheaded along with the other officers in 1643. In the trial records of 1642, his full names was given as Salazar Hachero. His son was Bartolome de Salazar, no mother was listed in ONMF.
When Francisco de Salazar’s punishers tried to behead him with his own dagger, they made a bad job of it. “For God’s sake,” he screamed, “sharpen that thing and put me out of my misery!” Then, claimed Covarrubias, Salazar’s severed head recited the entire true and essential creed of the Roman Catholic faith.
Died: 21 Jul 1643, Santa Fé, Santa Fé, Nuevo Méjico, Nueva España.
