Diego de Montemayor murdered his wife, Juana Porcayo de la Cerda, after discovering that she had been having carnal relations with Alberto del Canto. This was the same Alberto del Canto who later married his daughter Estefania. In 1596, Diego de Montemayor led a group of 15 families from Saltillo and settled in the area of El Cerro de la Silla. This was the third attempt by Spaniards to settle the area but this time it was successful. The site became the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon

      DIEGO DE MONTEMAYORSobre la vida de Diego de Montemayor antes de la conquista se sabe en realidad muy poco. Se ignora el lugar de su nacimiento así como las primeras actividades que desarrolló en la Nueva España.Se sabe que en 1572 era vecino de las minas de Mazapil. Su segunda esposa se llamó Juana de la Cerda (o Porcallo). Hija de ambos fue Estefanía, mujer de Alberto del Canto, fundador de Saltillo, Coahuila. Su primera esposa, madre de Diego Montemayor -El Mozo-, fue doña María de Orive.Es probable que Diego de Montemayor haya pisado por primera vez el territorio norte como integrante de la expedición del general Urdiñola, ya que su nombre aparece en los registros de los primeros pobladores de la ciudad de Saltillo.Tampoco se tiene por seguro si llegó a lo que él mismo fundaría después como Ciudad Metropolitana de Nuestra Señora de Monterrey con las primeras expediciones de Alberto del Canto o con la misión de Luis Carvajal y de la Cueva.Lo cierto es que en 1596 volvió a lo que Carvajal había nombrado Villa de San Luis y ahí fundó la ciudad de MonterreySe sabe que murió a avanzada edad. Algunos historiadores aseguran que murió en 1610 y otros que murió en 1612, año en que se vivió en la ciudad una de las peores inundaciones de la historia.
