In 1515, Charles sent Adrian to Spain to convince his maternal grandfather, [[Ferdinand II of Aragon]], that the Spanish lands should come under his rule, and not Charles's Spanish-born younger brother [[Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand]], whom his grandfather had in mind. Adrian succeeded in that just before Ferdinand's death in January 1516.<ref name=martens/> Ferdinand of Aragon,<ref>Paolo Giovio, ''Vita Hadriani VI'',  p. 119.</ref> and subsequently Charles V, appointed Adrian [[Bishop of Tortosa]], which was approved by Pope Leo X on 18 August 1516.<ref>Gulik and Eubel, p. 186.</ref> He was consecrated by Bishop Diego Ribera de Toledo.
