Biography

Records indicate that Diego Álvarez de Osorio was born in Darien, Panama in 1485; although this is believed unlikely. Other sources indicate that he arrived in Panama in 1528 where he served as canon of the cathedral. On 26 Feb 1531, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement VII as Bishop of Nicaragua. Although he was never consecrated bishop, he served as Bishop Elect of Nicaragua until his death in May 1536.
