Arnaldo de Peralta

Arnaldo de Peralta was a 13th century Bishop of Zaragoza in Spain and Aragonese statesman. He was archdeacon of Lledó before being appointed a Bishop.[1] On 1 Jun 1243 he was appointed Bishop of Valencia, Spain and on 25 Aug 1248 was translated to the see of Zaragoza. He died Bishop of Zaragoza, July 1271.[2] [3]

Career

He was a vigorous and pragmatic church leader in a formative age for modern Spain and an era of slipping church control.

He called a Synod early in his Bishopric and also attended the Council of Tarragona (May 1, 1246). He also built a number of churches, including a few on the site of former Mosques.[5]

He was transferred to the bishopric of Zaragoza, on the death of Rodrigo de Ahonés (2-2-1248),[6] and during his time here Saint Domingo de el Val (1243-1250), was martyred on the 31 August 1250. Arnaldo de Peralta died in Zaragoza in July 1271, and was succeeded by Sancho de Peralta.[7]
