96. María Justina Sarabia Viejo, Don Luis
    de Velasco, virrey de Nueva España, 1550–1564;
    Ernesto de la Torre Villar, “Apuntamientos en
    torno de la administración pública y gobierno
    civil y eclesiástico en el siglo XVII,” 250,
    confirms that Valderrama removed Luis de
    Villanueva Zapata and Vasco de Puga; they
    appealed to the Council of the Indies and
    were eventually reinstated; also see Arregui
    Zamorano, La Audiencia de México, 74–80.
    In 1560 the audiencia had six members (Zorita,
    Villalobos, Orozco, Vasco de Puga, Ceynos,
    and Villanueva)—the desired number seems
    to have been eight. See Ralph H. Vigil, Alonso
    de Zorita: Royal Judge and Christian Humanist,
    1512–1585, 179. Reyes García, Anales de Juan
    Bautista, 135, also mentions that Villanueva and
    Puga were stripped of their staffs of office in
    January 1566.
