Biography

Bartolomé Martinez Menacho y Mesa was born in Torre de Miguel Sesmero, Spain and ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers.[6][7] He went to Peru where he served as archdeacon of the Cathedral of Lima.[5] On April 27, 1587, Pope Sixtus V, appointed him Bishop of Panamá.[3][6] On September 4, 1588, he was consecrated bishop by Turibius of Mogrovejo, Archbishop of Lima with Antonio Avendaño y Paz, Bishop of Concepción assisting.[6] His term in Panama was marked by good relations with the government authorities with little meddling in church affairs; he also defended the Black population and prevented their harsh punishment after a rebellion.[5] On April 30, 1593, Pope Clement VIII, appointed him the Archbishop of Santafé en Nueva Granada where he served until his death on February 16, 1604[1][2][6] in Cartagena.[4]
