Biography
Pedro Benedit Horruytiner was born in Zaragoza, Spain in 1613. He was the son of Gilberto Benedit Horruytiner and Inés Catalán. He was a nephew of former Florida Gov. Luis Benedit and Horruitiner.[1] He joined the Royal Spanish Navy when he was young. [2]
Pedro Benedit Horruytiner was appointed acting governor of Florida in 11 April 1646.[3]
On September 5, 1647 Hurruytiner and Francisco Menendez Marquez set an ultimatum by which the Chisca Amerindians, considered as violents because of the attack on Christian Tumucuans, should choose in two months the execution in Florida, where they lived, or settle in the town of Christians caciques. Two months later, the Chiscas caciques were settled between the Timucua Christians.
In January of that year, Hurruytiner ordered Ensign Pedro de Florencia to search for the people living in missions San Francisco de Potano and Santa Fé de Teleco, because Hurruytiner had feared those places would be depopulated. [note 1][4]
He left the Florida government the following year, in 8 January 1648, regaining the office in 19 October 1651. He left the office, finally, in 18 June 1654, when he was replaced by Diego de Rebolledo.[3]
