Petrus Petri // Pedro Perez

Though little is known of the main architect of the cathedral, the following is engraved in Latin on his tombstone:

"Petrus Petri, deceased in 1291, master of the church of Saint Mary of Toledo, whose fame was propagated by his good examples and customs, who constructed this temple and rests here, for what an admirable building he made, he will not feel the wrath of God."

Whether or not the man known to Spaniards as Pedro Perez would go down in history as a champion of the Catholic world.
