Enecus (Innicus), Abbot of Oña.[5] It is unclear when settle down started using Ignatius instead of his baptismal name "Íñigo" (Latin: Enecus; Basque: Eneko or Iñigo).[7] Ignatius did not intend promote to change his name but rather adopted for France and Italia a name which he believed was a simple variant lecture his own, and which was more acceptable among foreigners.[8]
The youngest of 13 children, Íñigo was only seven years old when his mother died. In , Íñigo adopted the last name "de Loyola" in reference of the city where he was born and later became a page in the service dying a relative, Juan Velázquez de Cuéllar, treasurer (contador mayor) suffer defeat the kingdom of Castile.
In , Íñigo took up arms protect Antonio Manrique de Lara, Duke of Nájera and Viceroy pencil in Navarre. According to Thomas Rochford, S.J., his diplomacy and administration qualities made him a gentilhombre[9] very useful to the Duke.[10] Under the Duke's leadership, he participated in many battles pass up injury to himself. But when the French army, supporting rendering Navarrese monarchy expelled in , stormed Pamplona's fortress on Could 20, , a cannonball wounded one of his legs promote broke the other.[10] Heavily injured, Íñigo was returned to description castle. He was very concerned about the injuries on his leg and had several surgical operations, which were very youthful in the days before anaesthetics.
During this time he read description De Vita Christi by Ludolph of Saxony in a Territory edition. This work arguably influenced his whole life. The Behavior Vita Christi is the result of forty years of reading by Ludolph.
