Biography

Angel de Maldonado was born in Ocaña, Spain in 1660 and ordained a priest in the Cistercian Order.[2] On 21 June 1700, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Innocent XII as Bishop of Antequera.[2] On 2 January 1701, he was consecrated bishop by Francesco Acquaviva d'Aragona, Titular Archbishop of Larissa in Thessalia, with Gregorio Solórzano Castillo, Bishop of Ávila, and Francisco Zapata Vera y Morales, Titular Bishop of Dara, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Antequera until his death on 17 April 1728.[2]

While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Juan Benito Garret y Arlovi, Bishop of Nicaragua (1710); and José Pérez de Lanciego Eguiluz y Mirafuentes, Archbishop of México (1714).[2]
