Antonio de Ciudad Rodrigo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fray Antonio de Ciudad Rodrigo (also Antonio Civitatencis) was a Franciscan friar. He was one of the first twelve to emigrate to New Spain in 1524, and the second provincial of the province of the Holy Gospel.[citation needed]

In 1527, Rodrigo brought Bernardino de Sahagún and a number of other young Franciscans to New Spain.[1]
