Herrera, Fernando de, Spanish poet, born at Seville, and took orders; in his lifetime his lyrics enjoyed a wide popularity, and won for him the epithet “divine”; his “Battle of Lepanto” is a spirited ode, and many of his other works, including a prose history of the “War in Cyprus,” are still read (1534‒1597).
