Biography[edit]
Michael Fitzwalter was born in Ireland and attended the English College of St Gregory in Seville, Spain.[1] On 9 August 1591, Michael Fitzwalter was appointed by Pope Gregory XIV as Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe[2][3] and consecrated in Venice on 15 August 1591.[1] Although appointed Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe, he never returned to Ireland and the diocese was administered by Vicars Apostolic in his absence.[1] In 1596, he was appointed by Pope Clement VIII as Auxiliary Bishop of Seville where he served until his death at Alcala del Rio, Spain in 1601.[1]
While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Antonio de Raya Navarrete, Bishop of Cuzco (1594).[3]
