René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle
Jironza led an expedition against the Apaches in 1684. He was not given sufficient soldiers to effect the reconquest of New Mexico, because resources were held back due to rumours that the French were conducting an expedition in Texas, and preventing this would be the higher priority. This was the invasion of eastern Texas by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in 1685.
