3 unusual facts about Obregonian Brothers


Obregonian Brothers

They were founded by Bernardino de Obregón (born 5 May 1540, at Las Huelgas near Burgos, Spain; died 6 August 1599, Madrid).

This had been founded as the hospital for the Royal Court in 1529, when the Emperor Emperor Charles V decreed that this facility was no longer to move about the country with the court but was to be established at this site.

The motherhouse was at the Convent of Our Lady of Victory on the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, adjacent to the Church of Our Lady of Good Success.
