Abstract

RESUMEN: En el trabajo se estudia la larga trayectoria del dominico burgalés fray Diego de Mardones al frente de la diócesis cordobesa, una de las más ricas de la corona de Castilla por el volumen de sus rentas. Tras cesar como confesor de Felipe III, el anciano prelado desarrolla una encomiable labor, plasmada en el apoyo dado a la corriente descalza de las órdenes religiosas y al movimiento eremítico, la actitud favorable a los moriscos en el drama de la expulsión, el mecenazgo del retablo mayor de la catedral y las obras del palacio episcopal. El esplendor de la fiesta del Corpus Christi y la polémica surgida en torno a la concepción sin pecado original de la Virgen son también hechos destacados en la andadura pastoral de este caritativo obispo que fallece en septiembre de 1624 a los 96 años de edad. Palabras clave: fray Diego de Mardones, obispo, dominico, Córdoba, XVII. ABSTRACT: This work analyses the long trajectory of the Dominican friar Diego de Mardones at the front of the Cordobesian Diocese, one of the most wealthiest of the Castile Crown regarding to the rent volume. After finishing as Philip III´s confessor, the ancient priest develops a commendable work, proof of that is the support to the discalced religious orders and the eremitic movement, the favorable attitude to the Moorish in the drama of expulsion, the patronage of the main altar of the cathedral and the refurbishment works on the episcopal palace. The splendor of the feast of Corpus Christi and the controversy arised around the conception without sin of the Virgin are also highlights in the pastoral journey of this charitative bishop who died in September 1624 at the age of 96 years. Keywords: Friar Diego de Mardones, bishop, Dominican, Cordoba, XVII
