Historian and Genealogist
This is translated (for what it's worth) using Google Translate:

Diego crossed Caballero in the Order of Santiago in 1640, was Twenty-fourth of Seville for some years. Alonso Ortiz de Zúñiga, 2nd Marquis de Valencina, made a genealogical work of his lineage entitled "Genealogical Discourse of the Ortizes of Seville", which shows his eagerness to perform a work based on authentic documents. Taking into account that its genealogy extends from the conquest of Seville in 1248 to 1680, it had to dispel the gaps in time, with investigated searches in archives and notaries.

They are written with truth, legality, purity of style, without passion or flattery and with the qualities of a serious History. Affirmation that also the Ldo does. Juan Lucas Cortés, of the Council of the King and his alcalde of House and Court: "In these Annales you will see all the memorable events that happened in that city in the year and time that touches them and many private, and hitherto unobserved another one, touching the Universal History of Spain and our kings, due to the diligence and work of the author, who did not excuse anyone, seeing and recognizing all the archives of the church, city, other communities and individuals and likewise of scriptures and privileges of them, with which in addition to the security and truth with which they are adjusted ...
