Francisco is the paternal grandson of Juan Manso de Zúñiga and Beatriz Martínez de Medrano.
Francisco's sister María Magdalena Manso de Zúñiga y Sola, I Lady of Tabuerniga, married Antonio Velaz de Medrano y Mendoza, knight of the Order of Santiago, soldier in Naples and Sicily and magistrate in the towns of Malaga (1609–12) and Cuenca-Huete (1612–14). Francisco is the maternal uncle of Pedro Velaz de Medrano y Manso de Zúñíga, II Lord of Tabuérniga.
