Alfonso Barasaque

Alfonso Barasaque, or Alfonso Barrasa was Bishop of Salamanca from 1361 to 1382, and a trusted man of King Henry II of Castile.[1] Some authors mistakenly mentioned him as Cardinal of Saint Eustatius.[2]

On 12 August 1363, to assist in the completion of the Old Cathedral of Salamanca, he founded the Brotherhood of the Work of Saint Mary of the See,[3] and sought to increase the alms given.[4]
