Luis Hurtado de Mendoza y Pacheco was the eldest son of Íñigo López de Mendoza y Quiñones (1440 in Guadalajara – 15 July 1515 in Granada, Spain), 2nd Count of Tendilla and 1st Marquis of Mondéjar.

Luis Hurtado was the first member of the House of Mendoza that supported Charles of Habsburg during the Revolt of the Comuneros, despite the fact that his own sister María Pacheco and her husband Juan López de Padilla were amongst the leaders of the revolt.

In 1525, he led a failed attempt to reconquer Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera. He remained loyal to King Charles for his entire life and received many important titles and functions.

He became the 3rd Count of Tendilla; Viceroy of Navarre in 1543–1546; President of the Council of Indies in 1546–1559; and President of the Council of Castile in 1561–1563.

He married with Catalina Mendoza y Zúñiga and had:

Francisco Hurtado de Mendoza y Mendoza, predeceased his father when he drowned in the La Herradura naval disaster (1562)
Francisca Mendoza y Mendoza, married Baltasar Ladron De La Maza
Iñigo López de Mendoza y Mendoza (1511–1580), 3rd Marquis of Mondejar, married Maria Mendoza Y Aragón, daughter of Íñigo López de Mendoza, 4th Duke of the Infantado
