Rodrigo de Vivero y Velasco was a Spanish colonial officer from New Spain. His parents were Don Rodrigo de Vivero and Doña Antonia de Velasco, the sister of Luís de Velasco, second Viceroy of New Spain.[1] In 1563 he married Alonso Valiente's widow, Melchora de Aberrucia. As a result, he gained control of the encomienda of Tecamachalco. Their son, Rodrigo de Vivero y Aberrucia, became the first Count of the Valley of Orizaba and Spanish interim governor of the Philippines.[1]
