You may be referring to Juan de Oñate. He was a conquistador: in the late 1500s and early 1600s, he explored in the New World, and he established the colony of New Mexico for Spain. Most accounts say he was very dictatorial and harsh as the leader of that colony, but he is known for having established it.
