Bartolomé Martí (died 1500) (called the Cardinal of Segorbe) was a Spanish Catholic bishop and cardinal.

Biography

Bartolomé Martí was born in Valencia, ca. 1430-40.[1] Early in his career, he became the majordomo of Cardinal Roderic Llançol i de Borja (the future Pope Alexander VI). He later became a papal chamberlain.[1]

On 27 September 1473 he was elected Bishop of Segorbe.[1] John II of Aragon initially opposed his election, and a deal was not reached until 1478.[1] He celebrated a diocesan synod in 1479; he held a second synod in Jérica on 8 June 1485.[1]

He went to Rome in 1487 and remained there for the rest of his life.[1] He initially served as Cardinal Borja's chancellor.[1] After Cardinal Borja became pope, he made Bishop Martí majordomo of the Apostolic Palace.[1] In 1494, he became Master of the Papal Chapel.[1] During this period, he had an active role in the ceremonies of the papal court but had no political role.[1]

Pope Alexander VI made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 19 February 1496.[1] He received the red hat and the titulus of Sant'Agata dei Goti (a deaconry raised pro illa vice to the status of titulus) on 24 February 1496.[1] He received the see of Bagnoregio in commendam on 2 March 1497, keeping that see until his death.[1] He was Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals from 9 January 1499 to 1500.[1] In 1499, he became Bishop of Toul, a position he held until his death.[1]

He died at his home in Campo Marzio on 25 March 1500.[1] He is buried in St. Peter's Basilica.[1]
