Biography

Francisco Manso de Zuñiga y Sola was born in Cañas, La Rioja, Spain.[1][2] He was the son of Juan Manso de Zúñiga y Sola and Ambrosia de Salcedo y Vallejo, and the grandson of Don Juan Manso de Zúñiga y Medrano, nicknamed “El Joven or El Mozo”, lord of the towns of Canillas, Cañas and Santorcaz, progenitor of the Counts of Hervías. The County of Hervías is a Spanish noble title created by King Felipe IV on May 26, 1651, in favor of Francisco Manso de Zúñiga y Solá, with the prior viscountcy of Negueruela, La Rioja.[3] He is the maternal uncle of Pedro Velaz de Medrano, II Lord of Tabuérniga.

On August 9, 1627, he was selected by the King of Spain and confirmed by Pope Urban VIII as Archbishop of Mexico.[1] April 12, 1628, he was consecrated bishop by Alonso Orozco Enriquez de Armendáriz Castellanos y Toledo, Bishop of Michoacán.[1] He served as Archbishop of Mexico until his resignation on July 20, 1634.[1] On October 5, 1637, he was selected by the King of Spain and confirmed by Pope Urban VIII as Archbishop (Personal Title) of Cartagena.[1] On October 8, 1640, he was selected by the King of Spain and confirmed by Pope Urban VIII as Archbishop of Burgos where he served until his death on December 27, 1655.[1]

While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Juan Velasco Acevedo, Bishop of Orense (1637); Pedro Luis Manso Zuñiga, Auxiliary Bishop of Burgos (1648); and Juan Bravo Lasprilla, Bishop of Lugo (1652).[1]
