Guipúzcoa in the context of Vicente Emparán

Vicente Emparán (Spanish pronunciation: [biˈθente empaˈɾan], or sometimes Emparan [emˈpaɾan]; 1747 – 3 October 1842) was a Spanish Captain General.

Emparán was born in Azpeitia, Guipúzcoa, Basque Country, in 1747 as the son of José Joaquín de Emparan. He was governor of Cumaná Province in the Captaincy General of Venezuela between 1792 and 1804, where he had gained a favorable reputation among Venezuelans.

Domingo Báñez (29 February 1528 in Valladolid – 22 October 1604 in Medina del Campo) was a Spanish Dominican and Scholastic theologian. The qualifier Mondragonensis is sometimes attached to his name and seems to refer to the birthplace of his father, Juan Báñez, at Mondragón in Guipúzcoa.
