2. Jacometrezo (Memoria de Madrid, in Spanish").

Excerpt (in translation): "Jacome de Trezzo was born in Milan, territory of the Empire of Charles V, around 1525. Being a Milanese allowed him to learn the art of sculpture in the Italian city where the best and most sophisticated goldsmith workshops were located, and especially the manufacture of armor from all over Europe, and from where orders were sent to all the courts, including the Spanish."
