Born a peasant, Valdez served Emperor Charles V in the 1546 war with the Protestant factions of the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1550 he led an expedition against Tunis. In 1567 he accompanied the Duke of Alva to the Netherlands, to restore the authority of Philip II of Spain at the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt. He was married to Magdalena Moons in 1574.
