Biography
Jacobus de la Torre (1608 – 16 September 1661) served as Archbishop of Utrecht from 1651 to 1661.
Life
Jacobus de la Torre was born in The Hague, studied in Leuven, and was ordained priest in 1633. In 1640 he was appointed coadjutor to Philippus Rovenius, and in 1647 appointed titular archbishop of Ephesus. In 1649 he was dismissed and exiled. He stayed on in Brussels, after a stay in Rome in 1655-56. On his return to Brussels he showed signs of dementia and in 1660 had to be hospitalised. To the dismay of the secular clergy he set up 11 new Jesuit stations in his Concessiones Ephesinae (1652). He died, aged about 53, at Huijbergen.
