Sebastián Herrero y Espinosa de los Monteros

He obtained a degree in civil and canon law at the University of Seville.

He was vicar general of the Diocese of Cadiz from 1866 to 1868 and canon archpriest of the cathedral.

In 1880, because of health problems, he gave up his bishopric and retired to Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Pope Leo XIII made him a cardinal-priest in the consistory of 22 June 1903 and died before Herrero could be invested with the symbols of that office.

Herrero, very ill himself, nevertheless participated in the conclave of 1903 that elected Pope Pius X and received his red hat from Pius X, who assigned him the titular church of Santi Bonifacio ed Alessio on 7 August 1903.
