Note XIX‑8 — Chapter XIX · THE ECCLESIASTICS IN CHIAPAS. 1550.

Remesal states that the immediate cause of his death was taking poison during the night in mistake for water. Mazariegos inclines to the opinion that the fatal draft was taken while Arteaga was delirious with fever. Mem. Chiapa, 45. According to Calle, Mem. y Not., 122, Avendaño was a native of Estepa. Some of the members of his chapter went to Santiago, and others remained at Ciudad Real in a destitute condition, but were provided for by Marroquin. They asked that their allowance be given them from the revenues of that church, but this was refused by Marroquin until the emperor's decision should be known. Pacheco and Cárdenas, Col. Doc., xiii. 278-9.
