 Obispos de Leon Viejo, Nicaragua
De lo que por fuentes histórica se tiene conocimiento es que en León Viejo fueron enterrados cuatro de los primeros grandes obispos sobre quienes, con su báculo y las prestas espadas de la Hispania, recayó la tarea de conquistar para la corona católica a la entonces provincia de Nicaragua.
Quienes tratan de disminuir la figura de Valdivieso por sus insistentes reclamos frente a las autoridades, que se negaban a pagarle sus sueldos y a entregarle los diezmos de la Iglesia, olvidan que esa fue casi una constante en las primeras décadas de la colonia.
De acuerdo a los historiadores, lo cual será sujeto de verificación arqueológica, en las ruinas de León Viejo, exactamente en la Catedral de la Merced, se encuentran las osamentas de cuatro de los principales arzobispos de Nicaragua, aunque uno de ellos, el más famoso, Fray Antonio Valdivieso, todavía es oficialmente ilocalizable.
