Encyclopedia
Jerónimo Manrique de Lara ( before 1538 – d. 1 September 1595) was a church leader in Spain, a General Inquisitor.
Grand son of famous Rodrigo Manrique, (1406 – Ocaña, 1476), first count of Paredes de Nava
, one of the pretenders to be recognized as "Maestre" of the military Order of Santiago
, a nephew – grand son also of Bishop and Archbishop Iñigo Manrique de Lara, (deceased 1585).
He was an illegitimate offspring, "barragán
" in Spanish for a father being a priest, of Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal and General Inquisitor Alfonso Manrique de Lara, ( ???? – Bishop of Badajoz, circa 1499 – Bishop of Córdoba 1516 – Archbishop of Seville 1523 – Cardinal 1531 – September 1538), becoming a Bishop of Cartagena, (1583–1591), and later Bishop of Ávila, (1591–1595).
There is not much to be said of his time as a General Inquisitor because of his death barely 10 months later.
It is known however that Flemish – German born Johannes Bartholomeus Avontroot, (nacido 1556), resident in the Spanish Canary Islands
was some sort of administrator of a sugar manufacturer in Tazacorte
and Argual also Flemish, Paulus Vandale. One of Paulus daughters, María Vandale, had been married to a Melchor de Monteverde. She married Avontroot as a widower from Don Melchor but the step children of Avontroot declared to the local inquisitors their new step father ate meat on certain days fast on meat dishes was compulsory for Catholics and suggested laziness about the step father attending Sunday masses. Just before 1595 the Canary Islands Inquisition had already, apparently, a thick dossier on neglectful Avontroot. Whether these documents were sent to the General Inquisitor in Toledo is not known but could be possible.
