Francisco de Quinones was born in 1540 in Mayorga; his parents were Pedro de Villapadierna y Guzmán and Beatrice de Prado Quinones, who belonged to the nobility of Leon. In 1559, he served in Italy in the Spanish thirds . Then his troops were loaded onto the squadron of the viceroy of Naples , aimed at fighting the Turkish pirates, which in 1560 was defeated near the island of Djerba . Francisco de Quinones was among the five thousand prisoners and was sold into slavery in Istanbul , but was subsequently bought out and again fought in Italy and Flanders. Upon returning to Spain, he married Grimanes de Mogroveho, sister of the Inquisitor of Granada, Toribio de Mogroveho .
When Toribio de Mogroveho was appointed archbishop of Lima , Francisco de Kinnes went with him in 1580 to the New World. Thanks to the patronage of the Archbishop, he received the rank of “maestro de campo” and became general commissioner of cavalry. In 1582, viceroy Martin Enriquez de Almansa made him commander of a fleet transporting treasures from Peru to Panama for shipment to Spain. Later, he became a Corregidor of Lima.
When Peru received news of the death of the governor of Chile, Martin Garcia Oniesa de Loyola, in a battle with the Indians, Francisco de Quiñones was sent to Chile as a new governor. Taking the case from Pedro de Wiscarra , he tried to suppress Mapuche uprising, but did not succeed in this, and the Spaniards lost territory south of the Biot Biot River .
