Rodrigo de Castro Osorio

Administered, at the beginning, by the Society of Jesus, had consolidated financially the College of Jerez de la Frontera, and contributed to the maintenance of the college-seminar of the British Jesuits from Seville and since its foundation, in addition to being instituted a protector of the congregations that the company had in that city, that of the Annunciation.

His birthplace is disputed, with some authors arguing that he was born in Valladolid in 1523.

He studied canon law at Salamanca, where his brother, Pedro de Castro Lemos, who later became bishop of Cuenca (1553–1561), was named cardinal on 15 December 1583, by Gregory XIII.

It also provides for the transfer of his remains to Monforte de Lemos, which lie in the College of Our Lady of Antigua, under a statue made by John of Bologna.

His restless spirit led him to travel: Flanders, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, where travel is an important artistic heritage, much of which appears in the city of Monforte de Lemos.
