Leonor de Vivero

Leonor de Vivero (died 1558), was a Spanish Lutheran noblewoman. She was executed by burning by the Spanish Inquisition for heresy.[1]

She was married to the royal accountant Pedro Cazalla. They had Jewish origins, and both belonged to the circle of the mystic Francisca Hernández. Leonor de Vivero participated in a Protestant circle that gathered in her house and was accused of having conspired against the Catholic church.
