Abstract

The Jesuit saints Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier will represent two models of holiness whose characteristics will depend closely on post-Tridentine ideals. The story about their biographies and miracles will be strongly conditioned, moreover, by a question of special relevance for the hagiography of the period: patronage. Therefore, the main objective of this work will be to analyze the processes that led to their election as patron saints of Guipúzcoa, Vizcaya and Navarra through different sources, to understand the importance that had for the Society of Jesus and their attempts to establish their influence in these territories.
