Fernando de Herrera (1534?–1597)
Herrera, Fernando de (er-rā’rä). A Spanish priest-poet; born in Seville about 1534; died in 1597. Among his more serious poems are those on the battle of Lepanto and the fall of the Portuguese King Sebastian. His first volume was ‘Some Works in Verse,’ dated at Seville, 1582. This was followed some years later by another collection of ‘Verses.’ He wrote a ‘History of the Cyprus War and the Battle of Lepanto’ and, as one authority declares, a ‘Life and Death of Sir Thomas More.’
