Lazarillo was raised by his mother until he was eight years old, when she sent him to live with a blind beggar. Lazarillo served the blind beggar for four years, during which time he learned how to beg and steal. After the blind beggar died, Lazarillo went to live with a priest, but he was soon fired after he was caught stealing food. Lazarillo then went to live with a squire, but he was again fired after he was caught stealing money. Lazarillo's final master was an archbishop, who was the only master who treated him kindly.
