Iñigo Manrique de Lara (died 1496) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Córdoba (1485–1496) and Bishop of León (1484–1485).

Biography

He was the second son of Pedro Manrique, Lord of Ezcaray, and his first wife, Isabel de Quiñones. Destined, like many young noblemen, for a career in the Church, his influential family and the patronage of his uncle and namesake Iñigo Manrique de Lara, who would become Archbishop of Seville, ensured him a brilliant future in both the Church and the administration.[1]

In 1484, Iñigo Manrique de Lara was appointed during the papacy of Pope Sixtus IV as Bishop of León. In 1485, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Innocent VIII as Bishop of Córdoba. He served as Bishop of Córdoba until his death in 1496.[2]
