Antonio de Valdivieso (died 26 Feb 1549) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Nicaragua (1544-1549).[1][2][3][4][5]
Biography
Antonio de Valdivieso was ordained a monk in the Order of Preachers.[1] On 29 Feb 1544, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul III as Bishop of Nicaragua.[1] On 8 Nov 1544, he was consecrated bishop by Bartolomé de las Casas, with Francisco Marroquín Hurtado, Bishop of Santiago de Guatemala, and Cristóbal de Pedraza, Bishop of Comayagua, serving as co-consecrators.[1] As he was very concerned for the wellbeing of the Indians and the abuses practiced under the encomienda system, he attracted the ire of the governor, who libeled his character in Granada.[5] Hernando de Contreras, the son of the governor, roused an angry mob, went to Valdivieso's home, and subsequently stabbed the Bishop of Nicaragua to death[5] on 26 Feb 1549.[1]
