Biography
Salas was a native of Burgos. Before his episcopal appointment, Salas was a theology professor and an Augustinian friar. Pope Leo X appointed him the bishop of Duvno on 27 July 1514. Simultaneously, he served as an auxiliary bishop of Córdoba. During his episcopal tenure, the territory of the diocese of Duvno was under the Ottoman occupation, while the nearby Dalmatian region in southern Croatia was under Ottoman attacks. Salas' episcopal appointment is seen by Ante Škegro as a part of Pope Leo X's anti-Ottoman policy. He died on 12 October 1520.
