a Spanish prelate, was born at Cuenga in the latter part of the 14th century. He was made cardinal in 1409 by the antipope Benedict XIII, and confirmed by pope Martin V in 1418, and by him sent as legate to Bologna. The Council of Basle afterwards appointed him legate to Avignon; but pope Eugenius IV had already sent the cardinal of Foix, and therefore Carillo was obliged to return to Basle. He died there, March 14, 1434. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. G neral, s.v.
