Albuquerque Origins
Albuquerque, New Mexico was named after this guy:

Francisco Fernández de la Cueva y de la Cueva (1666-1733) the 10th Duke of Alburquerque (note the extra 'r'). He was Viceroy of New Spain at the time of the city's founding in 1706. Quite the looker to be sure! He must have got his handsome features from his father:

Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 8th Duke of Alburquerque.

These guys could surely be featured on the hit  gameshow "Troll or Nobleman?" Anyways, they were Dukes of the Old World Alburquerque:

This is the fortified town of Alburquerque in  the Badajoz  province of Spain, in the far west near the Portuguese border. 
The origin of the name of the town is uncertain. It is believed to stem from Latin, alba quercus, or "the white oak".[1]

The New Mexican village was founded as a strategically located military outpost  and sheep herding hub along the Camino Real, which connected northern New Mexico to Mexico City far to the south. But long before this, the area was home to the Pueblo tribes, descendants of the ancient Chaco Culture who were themselves descended from Archaic era basket-weaving peoples that have inhabited this land for 10,000 years.

Chaco Canyon.

These ancient populations have left their marks on the landscape, such as in the famous petroglyphs on the city's west side.

The area that is now Albuquerque was host to a dozen long-established Tewa pueblos in 1706, as well as a number of temporary encampments of Apaches, Utes, and Navajos who had only arrived in New Mexico a few years ahead of the Spanish.

Wow, those are some pretty darn ugly fellas.  I don't think I would have been comfortable even having my picture painted.  Maybe at the time they were more attractive than most of the others though...  That was a very fascinating history lesson.  I always enjoy reading about how different cities were formed or started.

Is there actually a show called "troll or Nobel man" and if so why have I not heard of this. It sounds hilarious. Those ancient city ruins and stone art work are really neat
