Unlike most conquistadors, Nuñez de Balboa was born into a relatively wealthy family. His father and mother were both of noble blood in Badajoz, Spain: Vasco was born in Jeréz de los Caballeros in 1475. Although noble, Balboa could not hope for much in the way of inheritance, as he was the third of four sons. All titles and lands passed to the eldest and younger sons generally went into the military or clergy. Balboa opted for the military, spending time as a page and squire at the local court.
