Juan de Valle y Arredondo, served as bishop of Guadalajara, Mexico, from 1607 until he resigned in 1617. Five years later he died in the monastery of San Benito de Real in Valladolid, Spain. After the bishop's death, the cathedral in Guadalajara, via its lawyer in Spain, Pedro Diez Noguerol, instigated a lawsuit against the monastery in Valladolid to obtain all of the possessions that the late prelate had owned, acquired, or was given during his tenure in the New World. This is the cathedral's initial legal salvo in what was a protracted trans-Atlantic legal battle.
