. "Garc\u00EDa was born in Holgu\u00EDn to parents of Cuban Criollo descent; his maternal surname I\u00F1\u00EDguez, indicates descendence from I\u00F1igo Arista, Basque King whose forces are referred to as demons in the Song of Roland. He was a large, strong, educated man with a short fuse. Garc\u00EDa was the grandson of Calixto Garc\u00EDa de Luna e Izquierdo, who had fought in the Battle of Carabobo in what is now called Venezuela. His grandmother was Maria de los Angeles Gonzalez, said to be the daughter of a Cacique Chief from Valencia Venezuela. His grandfather (who had dropped the aristocratic \"de Luna\" upon taking refuge in Cuba) had been jailed on March 18, 1837 for demanding emancipation of slaves, constitutional freedom for all, and allegedly trying to hang a priest who opposed him. As befitted a man of importance of that time, Calixto had a wife, Isabel Velez Cabrera, and a good number of mistresses; these women gave birth to many children both legitimate (about 7) and illegitimate (at least six, each to a different woman). A number of his sons, most notable Carlos Garc\u00EDa Velez and Calixto Enamorado, fought in his armies."@en . . "Calixto Garc\u00EDa"@en . . . . . . . . . . .
