Biography

A native of Seville,[4] Martin de Bejar was ordained a priest in the Order of Friars Minor.[5] In 1527, Pope Clement VII appointed him as the third Bishop of Panamá.[1][5] While bishop, the seat of the diocese was transferred to Panama City on the Pacific coast.[2] He served as Bishop until his death in 1530.[1][5]

gollark: The next thing to do is to rework the content model in some slightly underdetermined way, actually add revisions, change the UI, ignore this list of things to do and randomly do something else instead, and add files.
gollark: Do you mean MediaWiki and redirects? If so, sure.
gollark: Admittedly this is not incredibly *useful* in that it doesn't really open any previously nonexistent possibilities, but people asked for redirects so I assume they do want this, and it wasn't hard to add.
