The names of these two Spaniards, according to Ruy Diaz de Guzman, author of La Argentina (1612), and grandson of Irala, were Alonso Riquelme de Guzman (father of Ruy Diaz), and Francisco Ortiz de Vergara. There were four marriages, and not two, as Schmidt says. The other two Spaniards were Gonzalo de Mendoza and Pedro Segura. Irala’s daughters were by Indian women, his captives.
