Francisco de Urríes or Francisco de Verreis (died 26 October 1551) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Urgell (1534–1551), Co-prince of Andorra (1534 - 1551) and Bishop of Patti (1518–1534).[1][2]
Biography
He was the son of the barons of Ayerbe. He was born in Huesca, Aragon. He was active in the diocese of Urgell in the 1510s. He lived outside the diocese of Urgell, so he appointed two bishops who led the bishopric: Baltasar de Heredia (1535 - 1540) and Joan Punyet (1550 - 1551). On 21 June 1518, he was appointed by Pope Leo X as Bishop of Patti.[1] On 8 June 1534, he was appointed by Pope Clement VII as Bishop of Urgell.[1] He served as Bishop of Urgell until his death on 26 October 1551.[1] While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Martín Pérez de Ayala, Archbishop of Valencia (1548).[1]
He celebrated two synods in 1542 and 1545.
Some sources say he died in Urgell, while others say it was Ayerbe,[3] where he spent a lot of time. He was buried in Ayerbe in 1551.[4]
