7 – CAPTAINS OF TIDORE (Fortress of Santiago de los Caballeros)
In Tidore resided a Spanish captain who commanded the garrisoned troops in the ‘presidios‘ of the island and who also had under his jurisdiction the garrisons of Payaye and Tafongo located on the island of Halmahera and during the period in which the Spanish maintained a redoubt there also the garrison of the island of Puli Cauallo. Starting in 1613 the captain who ruled Tidore had his residence in the fortress of Santiago de los Caballeros of Tidore. From the documents consulted we can highlight some of the names of these captains:
Pasqual de Alarcon Pacheco:April/May 1606-December 1606
Pasqual de Alarcon arrived in Ternate in 1606, where he participated in the conquest of the city with the troops of Pedro de Acuña. After the capture of Ternate, some secondary sources mention that 100 men were left to garrison the island of Tidore under the command of Captain Pasqual de Alarcón. 1 In December 1606, Pasqual de Alarcon Pacheco had the command of an expedition to Jilolo, in which the king of Tidore and Pedro de Heredia also participated. During this expedition, the friar Antonio Flores informs us, Captain Alarcon was seriously wounded in the thigh from an enemy shot, due to this wound, after being taken to the ‘san Rramon‘ galley, he lost his life.2
Gregorio de Vidaña: c.1607-c.1608
Gregorio de Vidaña arrived in Ternate in 1606, where he participated in the conquest of the city with the troops of Pedro de Acuña with the task of ensign. In April 1607 he was promoted captain of infantry. In May 1607, Gregorio de Vidaña was the captain in the garrison of the island of Tidore. We find him at the head of Tidore also in May 1608, when Juan Martínez de Liedena was sent to Tidore together with Captain Heredia (who commanded the boats), with the ‘socorro’ destined to Captain Gregorio de Vidaña who was in charge of Tidore. The ‘socorro’ was made up of 60 Spaniards, of which 40 embarked on the ‘caracoas‘ and 30 on the galley. In Tidore in 1608 Vidaña defended the city from the Dutch attack.3
Francisco Salceda: c.1609-c.1610
Francisco Salceda, in October 1609 signed himself as captain ‘a cuyo cargo está la fortaleza de Tidore’.4 Already in April 1610 he no longer held this position, in fact he signed himself as captain of infantry to whom ‘la ysla de Tidore y presidio de Tafongo e Payage‘ had been charged, the declaration of Salceda is dated Ternate, 6 April 1610.5
Pedro de Avellaneda: c.1610 – August 1610
Pedro de Avellaneda, had the title of superior chief ‘de la ysla y fuerzas de Tidore‘. Upon his death, with a document dated August 23, 1610, Azcueta appointed Pedro de Hermua in his place. The date of Avellaneda’s death is to be positioned between August 6, 1610 and August 23, 1610. An interesting news of Avellaneda’s bad condition is given in a document dated Terrenate, August 6, 1610, where Avellaneda declares the merits of Pedro Martinez Cid, his declaration was not signed by Avellaneda due to his serious health conditions. Probably the cause of Avellaneda’s death is due to the wounds that the captain received following the clash with the Dutch which led to the second capture of the Dutch admiral Brancaerden. 6
Pedro de Hermua: August 23, 1610 – 1611
Pedro de Hermua with a paper dated August 23, 1610 was appointed by Azcueta, replacing the deceased Pedro de Avellaneda, head of the forces of Tidore, Payaye and Tafongo. He remained in Tidore until the arrival of D. Juan de Silva in 1611. He Participated in the conquest of Sabugo in 1611 where he was wounded in the thigh by a musket shot and then returned to command the garrisons of Tidore probably until 1612. 7
Bartolomé Díaz Barrera: June 3, 1611 – July 16, 1611
He was appointed on June 3, 1611 in place of Pedro de Hermua who was convalescing in Ternate after suffering a thigh wound from a musket shot. However, Hermua quickly recovered, so much so that on 16 July 1611 he resumed his office.8

Esteban de Alcázar:1613
The sergeant major Esteban de Alcázar was sent, in 1613 by Gerónimo de Silva to Tidore to prepare the defenses of the island against the Dutch and to advise the king and the prince. In some documents de Silva indicates, without giving his name, that Tidore was commanded by the sergeant major. 17
Juan de Azevedo: c.1613 (?)
Juan de Azevedo, perhaps in 1613, was appointed head of the Spanish fortresses of Tidore and two other garrisons, during this assignment he saved a Spanish ship which arrived loaded with food from the Philippines and which had been attacked by the Dutch. 18

He remained in Ternate at the head of an infantry company. During this period he served as captain of the presidios of Tidore and Tomanira, Xilolo, San Pedro y San Pablo. During the absence of the governor, Vergara (who often resided in Tidore), Juan de la Umbria took his place in the city of Ternate. In May 1618 he was chief of the forts of Tidore. 22

He remained in Tidore in this position for eight months. He then had health problems, in fact in September 1620 a request must have been made to the governor of the Philippines Faxardo de Tença for ‘dexacion‘ because with his subsequent letter of January 1621, the governor authorized Hernando del Castillo to return to Manila for treatment, in his place Captain Juan Garcia Peleas (who was serving at Oton) was sent with the relief of 1621. 25

He had already been made captain by Lucas de Vergara Gaviria, June 27, 1617, and governed his own company until he was succeeded by Master Sergeant Pedro de Cuenca Montalbo. Then later Juan de Chaves returned to command his company where he served for more than 5 years. In these five years he was in charge of the forts of San Pedro y San Pablo and Santa Lucia, Xilolo (Hilolo), Tomanira (Tomanera), Marieco (Merieco) and Tidore (‘Santiago de los Caualleros en la ysla de Tidore‘) as well as that due to the absence of the governor he had the city of Ternate in his charge. In a summary it is said that he also had the Rume fort at his charge (which, however, was never affirmed in the testimonies reported). He was head of the fort of Marieco, a position he held until June 1623. In fact, there is an order from Heredia (dated 5 June 1623) in which Chaves is commanded to give to the captain don Gaspar de Enebro the command of the “fuerza de Marieco” together with the ammunition, artillery and infantry which were in his charge. Chaves had been given leave to go to Manila due to his failing health. 26

He made a ‘dexacion‘ and obtained a license to return to Manila from Faxardo de Tenza in February 1623, endorsed by Pedro de Heredia on May 22, 1623.
