 explains why "de los Caballeros" was added to the saint name: 

 "The village [13:'2T] was definitively forsaken in 15'JS, for the 

 benefit of the Spaniards, who established themselves in the houses 

 temporarily, until they could build their own abodes. This 

 occurred with the consent of the Indians, who voluntarily relin- 

 quished the place to join their brethren at San Juan; and it was 

 partly on account of this generous action that the title ' De los 

 Caballeros' was bestowed upon the Tehuas of the latter village".^

 Y de los caualleros por memoria,

 This disposes of the fable that the title 'Caballeros' was given to the San Juan Indians for 

 their loyalty to Spain during the insurrection of 1680. On the contrary, the Indians of San J\ian 

 were among the most bitter and cruel of the rebels; and their participation in the risings of 1694 and 

 16% is well known ".—Bandelier, ibid.
