Hernán Peraza (II) (Inês Las Casas, Inês, Inês Bethencourt, Regnault, Jean, Jean, Jean, Regnault, Philippe, Jean) (suffix added for clarification)349,248,248 was also known as Fernán Peraza (II).248 He was born after 1450 at Islas Canarias.248 On 30 Mar 1478 Hernán Peraza (II) was Lord of the island of Gomeira, Islas Canarias, Spain.349 In May 1481 he became involved in the assassination of a noble Castilian nobleman, Juan Dejon, which occurred on Gomeira; because of this, Dejon's widow made complaint against him to the Court of Castile. He was later absolved or pardoned because he married one of the ladies-in-waiting to Queen Isabella la Católica according to her wishes.347 He married Beatriz de Bobadilla, daughter of Juan Fernandez de Bobadilla and Dona Leonor Osório de Ayala.349 He and Beatriz de Bobadilla resided at Gomeira, Islas Canarias, Spain.561 Hernán fell in love with a beautiful native named Iballa. The match was not viewed well by the natives. In consequence, he was attacked and killed by a cousin of hers, Pedro Hautaperche.561
Beatriz de Bobadilla248,349,349 also went by the name of Caçadora because she was the daughter of the chief huntsman, to distinguish her from another Beatriz de Bobadilla, the Marchioness of Moya.347 She was born circa 1460.248 As a lady-in-waiting to the Queen, she was known for her beauty and elegance as well as for the luxurious way she dressed. According to some, she was the most graceful lady of the court. Apparently, she also caught the eye of the king. To avert problems, the Queen sought to have her marry and chose the Lord of Gomeira. Her mother-in-law, Dona Inês (III) Peraza, was not pleased with the marriage and developed a prolonged hostility toward her daughter-in-law.562 After her husband's murder, she took refuge in the fortress of São Sebastião and asked for help from Pedro da Vera who governed Gran Canaria, conquered by the royal army in 1483. The ensuing repression took on the proportions of a veritable genocide. Beatriz then assumed the governorship of the island, a governorship full of unjust conditions, revealing an extremely cruel and bloodthirsty character.561 In 1492 she received Christopher Columbus when he reached the island on his voyage to the Antilles. It has been said that Columbus was infatuated with her and sought her out. Beatriz received him with great honor and friendship and, apparently, became his lover.561 She married Allonso de Lugo, son of Inês de Las Casas (IV).563

278 ii. ? Bethencourt (listed in Os Bettencourt as Anne (II)'s sister of unknown name)448,448,448 was born circa 1570.448 The Nobiliário da Ilha da Madeira states that Matheus and his wife owned the land of Bettencourt in Bray, the ancient house of the Bettencourts, at the time the Nobiliário was written, 1700. There is, however, a problem with dates. Os Bettencourt states that ?'s father, Louis (II), died before 1606, p. 89. Since she must have been born before or during that year, how could she and her husband own the lands of Bettencourt in 1700 when she would be at least 94? It certainly seems unlikely that she would live that long.132 She married Mathieu Boquet in 1729.448,132 She and Anne de Bethencourt (II) were both owners of Béthencourt, Sigy-en-Bray, France.448
Mathieu Boquet448 was also known as Matheus Boquet.132 He was also known as Jean Basquest.448 He was born circa 1700 at France.448 In 1729 Mathieu Boquet was Lord of Saumont-la-Poterie, France, (Os Bettencourt gives the date as 1729 but this seems too late to be feasible since the Nobiliário da Ilha da Madeira was written in 1700 and also mentions this person and title; perhaps a typographical error?).448,564,132
