Biography
Tomás de Toro was born ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers[1] at the Convent of San Esteban de Salamanca.[3] On 24 Apr 1534, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement VII as the first Bishop of Cartagena.[1] His bishophric was brief, for he died two years later, after facing serious struggles with the trustees, headed by Pedro de Heredia, due to its excesses with the Indians.[4] He died in 1536 before he was consecrated as Bishop of Cartagena.[1]
