Biography
Records indicate that Diego Alvarez de Osorio was born in Darien, Panama in 1485;[1] although this is believed unlikely.[5] Other sources indicate that he arrived in Panama in 1528 where he served as canon of the cathedral.[5] On 26 Feb 1531, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement VII as Bishop of Nicaragua.[1] Although he was never consecrated bishop,[5] he served as Bishop Elect of Nicaragua until his death in May 1536.[1]
