Abstract
Our knowledge of the Spanish Church during the 19th Century has advanced considerably through the publication of some prominent bishops’ biographies. However, many of these figures are still unfamiliar to us. This is the case with Juan José Bonel y Orbe (1782-1857), a distinguished prelate during the difficult years of Isabel ii’s regencies and the beginnings of moderate politics. Bishop of Málaga and Córdoba and later primate of Toledo and cardinal, he gave many speeches as a senator, as well as being the Queen’s confessor. This article provides an approach to his biography on the basis of the published sources available, with the objective of shedding light on his historical importance.
