Gaspar de Bono was a 16th-century Spanish priest and member of the Order of Minims. Born in Valencia in 1530, he initially sought a different path, serving as a soldier for a decade under Emperor Charles V. After being left for dead following a head wound in Lombardy, he fulfilled a vow to join the Minim friars. He eventually rose to leadership positions within his order, serving as a master of novices and as a regional superior, and was recognized for his austere lifestyle and charitable nature.
