| description | This investigation focuses on the early life of Luis de Velasco, the younger. Many historical works propose that Velasco traveled to New Spain when he was a boy along with his father entourage. This research work proves that, on the contrary, he lived in Spain, England and the Netherlands before arriving at New Spain. He was member of a group of young noblemen who escorted Prince Philip before his ascent to Spain’s throne. Once in Mexico, Velasco the younger took his own role within the colonial society. In this article, his personal friends, his political relations after the marriages of his sister and uncle, the social group around the viceroy palace and his own matrimonial selection, are analyzed. Likewise, the article ends with an analysis of Velasco’s role in the conspiracy of Martín Cortés. |

Muchas obras históricas proponen que Velasco viajó a la Nueva España como niño junto con el séquito de su padre. Esta investigación demuestra que, al contrario, vivía en España, Inglaterra y los Países Bajos antes de llegar a la Nueva España. Era miembro de un grupo de jóvenes nobles quienes acompañaban al príncipe Felipe antes de su ascenso al trono español. Una vez en México, Velasco, el joven, tomó su propio papel en la sociedad colonial. El artículo analiza sus amistades, sus relaciones políticas a raíz de los matrimonios de su hermana y de su tío, el grupo social alrededor de palacio virreinal y de su propia elección matrimonial. Termina con un análisis del papel que tomó Velasco en la famosa conjura de Martín Cortés, marqués del Valle.
