Francisco Manso de Zuñiga y Sola was born in Cañas, La Rioja, Spain.[1][2] He was the son of Juan Manso de Zúñiga y Sola and Ambrosia de Salcedo y Vallejo, and the grandson of Don Juan Manso de Zúñiga y Medrano, nicknamed “El Joven or El Mozo”, lord of the towns of Canillas, Cañas and Santorcaz, progenitor of the Counts of Hervías. The County of Hervías is a Spanish noble title created by King Felipe IV on May 26, 1651, in favor of Francisco Manso de Zúñiga y Solá, with the prior viscountcy of Negueruela, La Rioja.[3] He is the maternal uncle of Pedro Velaz de Medrano, II Lord of Tabuérniga.
