Biography

Antonio Avendaño y Paz was born in Salamanca, Spain in 1520 and ordained a priest in the Order of Friars Minor in 1550.[2][3] On 22 March 1564, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Pius IV as the first Bishop of La Imperial.[1][2][3] On 9 February 1567, he was consecrated bishop by Jerónimo de Loaysa, Archbishop of Lima, with Pedro de la Peña, Bishop of Quito, as co-consecrator, and Father Bartolomé Martinez Menacho y Mesa, assisting.[2] On 17 September 1568, he was installed as Bishop of Concepción.[2][3] On 9 March 1588, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Sixtus V as Bishop of Quito.[1][2][3] He served as Bishop of Quito until his death on 7 November 1590.[1][2][3]

While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Diego de Medellín, Bishop of Santiago de Chile (1577); and the principal co-consecrator of Alfonso Guerra, Bishop of Paraguay (1582).[2]

gollark: We don't actually *know* what it is, and it probably varies based on... stuff, so it's not exact.
gollark: The UK is mostly-lockdowned too, and schools closed a while ago, so I basically get a 5-and-a-half-month school holiday during which I still have to do work.
