Isidro Ordóñez
Isidro Ordóñez was a Franciscan friar who seized control of New Mexico in 1613, imprisoning Governor Pedro de Peralta. Later he was summoned to Mexico City and reprimanded for his actions by the Mexican Inquisition. Early years Ordóñez was one of just ten friars who spent time in New Mexico between 1601 and 1610 during the regime of the first governor, Juan de Oñate. In 1606 the king of Spain called a halt to further exploration in New Mexico. Discouraged by the lack of support for his colony, on 24 August 1607 Juan de Oñate sent a letter of resignation to the viceroy Luis de Velasco, marqués de Salinas. This was accepted, and Martínez de Montoya was named interim governor, but Oñate was ordered to remain until his permanent replacement arrived.
