Bernard de Périgord (died 1149) was the first bishop of the restored diocese of Zamora from 1121 until his death.
[2] In 1121 he was elected to replace the late Jérôme, also from Périgord, who had served as de facto bishop of Zamora since about 1102.
[2] He created a diocesan administration from scratch and began the repoblación (officially-sponsored resettlement) of the region with Christians.
All his surviving charters are fueros de población granting rights to, and establishing the responsibilities of, new settlers (pobladores).
[3] Bernard also oversaw the foundation of two monasteries in his diocese, including Valparaíso, one of the earliest Cistercian houses in Spain.
