Arnaldo de Peralta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnaldo de Peralta was a 13th-century Bishop of Zaragoza in Spain and Aragonese statesman. He was archdeacon of Lledó before being appointed a bishop.[1] On 1 Jun 1243 he was appointed Bishop of Valencia, Spain and on 25 Aug 1248 was translated to the see of Zaragoza. He died Bishop of Zaragoza, July 1271.[2] [3]

Career

Co-Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar.

He was a vigorous and pragmatic church leader in a formative age for modern Spain and an era of slipping church control.

He called a Synod early in his Bishopric and also attended the Council of Tarragona (May 1, 1246). He also built a number of churches, including a few on the site of former Mosques.[5]

He was transferred to the bishopric of Zaragoza, on the death of Rodrigo de Ahonés (2-2-1248),[6] and during his time here Saint Domingo de el Val (1243–1250), was martyred on 31 August 1250. Arnaldo de Peralta died in Zaragoza in July 1271, and was succeeded by Sancho de Peralta.[7]
