Antonio de Valdivieso was ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers.[3] On 29 Feb 1544, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul III as Bishop of Nicaragua.[1][3] On 8 Nov 1544, he was consecrated bishop by Bartolomé de las Casas, with Francisco Marroquín Hurtado, Bishop of Santiago de Guatemala, and Cristóbal de Pedraza, Bishop of Comayagua, serving as co-consecrators.[3] As he was very concerned for the wellbeing of the Indians and the abuses practiced under the encomienda system, he attracted the ire of the governor, who libeled his character in Granada.[4]> Hernando de Contreras, the son of the governor, roused an angry mob, went to Valdivieso's home, and subsequently stabbed the Valdivieso to death[4] on 26 Feb 1549.[3]
