Alex Telles is a member of the clan of Corfu and is a descendent of the ancient House of Telles. He is the illegitimate son of Isabella, Countess of Galvani, and brother to Pedro, cousin to Bartolome. Alex Telles was supposedly born in 1499 at the court of Santa Maria de Gracia in Spain. However, the true birth place is unknown. Alex Telles family was said to be involved in the taking of half of the wealth of the region from the previous King with whom Alex Telles was very close. Alex Telles was not a main heir of the throne, but his name was put forward as a contender for the throne who was actually staked to be the next to succeed from brother Bartolome to cousin to princess Isabella.
Alex Telles was not well educated in law or in the history of law and probably had little knowledge of banking or finance. Alex Telles family had no large estate but had accumulated some small holdings. This small holding may have been combined with other properties and accumulated enough wealth to enable Alex Telles to marry Isabella Cortez de Menes de Granada – who was the mother of King Fernando III. In return for the marriage Alex Telles was given another estate in Granada by the Cortez family, this time without any obligation to the crown.
When Alex Telles died in 1512 he was buried with all the trappings of a king and his several official titles. The family were annoyed that their most beloved son had been buried with so little respect. They took Alex Telles’ wealth to provide for his funeral and sent for his two half brothers to take care of Alex Telles’ estates. Although the estates were ultimately not touched, the family never forgave Alex Telles for leaving them during his lifetime.
As if Alex Telles’ wealth did not become an issue, it was not long before his reputation as a financial genius got underway after his death. A writer of a popular grammar book of the time named Hackelson was so impressed with Alex Telles ability that he offered him the publishing rights to one of his books in return for the privilege of writing a complimentary introduction to the work. Alex Telles declined the offer and instead wrote his own introduction. Alex Telles biographers and financial professionals alike also credit Alex Telles credit Hackelson for helping to launch his career.
