Bernard of Sédirac
Bernard of Sédirac was a French Cluniac monk who became abbot of Sahagún and, after Alfonso VI's conquest of Toledo, the city's first archbishop from 1086. Named primate of the Spanish churches by Pope Urban II, he promoted the Roman liturgy in place of the Mozarabic rite and brought French clergy into the Castilian church, converting the main mosque of Toledo into the cathedral.
