Abstract
Pedro Fermín de Mendinueta was born in Elizondo, Valle de Baztan, Navarra in 1725, probably on July 7. His baptismal record states he received that sacrament on July 8 and in as much as children were baptized as soon after birth as possible and often named after the saint on whose day they were born, it is probable that he, indeed, was born on the da of San Fermín, July 7. San Fermín, incidentally is the patron saint of Navarra, and a child born on that day would very likely bear that name. He was the legitimate son of don Bartholomē de Mendinueta y doña Ana Cathalina de Garro, landlords and members of the minor aristocracy of Navarra.
