Bérenger de Landore (also Berengar of Landorra, of Landorre; Berenguel de Landoria, Landória, or Landoira) (1262–1330) was a French Dominican, who became Master of the Order of Preachers (1312–1317), and then Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela (1317-1330). He was from a noble family of southern France.
As Master General[edit]
As Master General, he set up the Friars Pilgrim missionaries.[1] He set the trend towards Thomism as central to Dominican theology;[2] and campaigned against that of Durandus of Saint-Pourçain.[3][4] He asked Bernard Gui to compose a replacement for the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine.[5]
As Archbishop[edit]
On 15 July 1317, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope John XXII as Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela.[6][7] On 30 April 1318, he was consecrated bishop by Niccolò Alberti, Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia e Velletri.[6] He took until 1322 to take possession as Archbishop, there being a Galician rival.[8][9] He had to reside at some time at Noia,[10] where he held a synod.[citation needed] His takeover was a violent affair.[11] He served as Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela until his death on 20 Oct 1330.[6] While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Gonzalo Núñez de Novoa, Bishop of Orense (1320) and Rodrigo Ibáñez, Bishop of Lugo (1320).[6] He is remembered also for the building work he initiated on the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, and relics.[12] One of the cathedral towers bears his name.
