Blasco Gardéliz De Ezcároz
Blasco Gardéliz de Ezcároz was the bishop of Pamplona (as Blasco II) from 1068 until 1078 or 1079. He was the prior of the monastery of San Salvador de Leire from 1054 until his election as bishop. Although the bishops of Pamplona had held the abbacy of Leire since the time of Sancho the Great (died 1035), this tradition was broken when Blasco became bishop. The monastery went instead to Fortunio, the bishop of Álava, in 1068. During Blasco's episcopate, King Sancho IV of Navarre re-established the primacy of the diocese of Pamplona in Navarre over that of Nájera. According to the ''Crónica de los reyes de Navarra'' of Prince Charles of Viana (died 1461), Sancho "gave great gifts to he cathedral of Santa María de Pamplona and to Bishop Don Blasco." In 1076, Sancho IV was assassinated and Álava was annexed by Castile. As a result, Fortunio was deprived of Leire and Blasco became abbot. He was thus the last abbot–bishop to hold both offices until his death. His successor, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Patronymic
A patronymic, or patronym, is a component of a personal name based on the given name of one's father, grandfather (more specifically an avonymic), or an earlier male ancestor. It is the male equivalent of a matronymic. Patronymics are used, by custom or official policy, in many countries worldwide, although elsewhere their use has been replaced by or transformed into patronymic surnames. Examples of such transformations include common English surnames such as Johnson (surname), Johnson (son of John). Origins of terms The usual noun and adjective in English is ''patronymic'', but as a noun this exists in free variation alongside ''patronym''. The first part of the word ''patronym'' comes from Greek language, Greek πατήρ ''patēr'' 'father' (Genitive case, GEN πατρός ''patros'' whence the combining form πατρο- ''patro''-); the second part comes from Greek ὄνυμα ''onyma'', a variant form of ὄνομα ''onoma'' 'name'.

Prior (or prioress) is an Ecclesiology, ecclesiastical Title#Ecclesiastical titles (Christian), title for a Superior (hierarchy), superior in some religious orders. The word is derived from the Latin for "earlier" or "first". Its earlier generic usage referred to any monastic superior. In abbeys, a prior would be lower in rank than the abbey's abbot or abbess.

Bishop Of Álava
A bishop is an ordained member of the clergy who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance and administration of dioceses. The role or office of the bishop is called episcopacy or the episcopate. Organisationally, several Christian denominations utilise ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority within their dioceses. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diocese Of Calahorra
In church governance, a diocese or bishopric is the ecclesiastical district under the jurisdiction of a bishop. History In the later organization of the Roman Empire, the increasingly subdivided provinces were administratively associated in a larger unit, the diocese (Latin ''dioecesis'', from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration"). Christianity was given legal status in 313 with the Edict of Milan. Churches began to organize themselves into dioceses based on the civil dioceses, not on the larger regional imperial districts. These dioceses were often smaller than the provinces. Christianity was declared the Empire's official religion by Theodosius I in 380. Constantine I in 318 gave litigants the right to have court cases transferred from the civil courts to the bishops. This situation must have hardly survived Julian, 361–363. Episcopal courts are not heard of again in the East until 398 and in the West in 408. The quality of these courts was l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Santa María De Pamplona
Pamplona Cathedral or Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic church in the archdiocese of Pamplona, Spain. The current 15th century Gothic church replaced an older Romanesque one. Archaeological excavations have revealed the existence of another two earlier churches. The Neoclassical façade was designed by Ventura Rodríguez in 1783. It has a 13th-14th-century Gothic cloister that provides access to two other Gothic rooms: the Barbazan chapel and the refectory. The Mediaeval kings of Navarre were crowned and some also buried there. The Navarrese ''Cortes'' (Parliament) was held there during the early modern ages. Since its foundation the church has been dedicated to the invocation of ''Santa María de la Asunción'' (Saint Mary of the Assumption), whose feast is celebrated on August, 15. It is possible that, due to a metonymy phenomenon, the ownership of the building has been associated with the titular image of the temple, ''Santa María la Real''. Jo ...
