Biography
Juanes de Ávila was born in the Crown of Castile. He received a licentiate degree.[1] He was named governor and captain general of Cuba in 1544, and arrived in Santiago de Cuba on February 10, 1544.[2]
During his administration, Dávila developed monopolies to his own benefit, restricted municipal councils, intimidated Cuban inhabitants and accepted bribes,[3] so he was charged and sent to trial.[3] He died in the Spanish Empire in the 16th century.
