DUQUE DE ESTRADA, DIEGO Spanish memoir writer, soldier and adventurer, was born at Toledo. He left a book of amazingly vivid memoirs, entitled Comentarios de el Desenganado de si Mismo, prueba de todos estados, y election del Mejor de ellos—"The Commentaries of one who knew his own little worth, the touchstone of all the states of man, and the choice of the best." The memoirs have been reprinted by Don Pascual de Gayangos in the Memorial historico espanol, vol. xii. (186o) .
