Gutierre was more fond of the mundane and military life than the religious life, which led him to constant conflicts with his cathedral part. According to F. J. García Mogollón, Gutierre spent some of his life "in the midst of great moral laxity, and we even know that he had a love affair with Magdalena de Mendoza, a lady from Toledo related to the Marquises of Almazán, who was the niece of Canon Carlos de Mendoza, Count of Castro, also a person of dissolute life." From that relationship, Gutierre gave birth to Francisco de Vargas y Mendoza, who was recognized as the son of Bishop Vargas Carvajal by King Philip II in 1561. While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Fernando Valdés, Bishop of Elne (1529). C Q and Kane (talk) 20:48, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Fernando Valdés, Bishop of Elne (1529). In 1551, Gutierre was sent to the Council of Trent by Charles I, where he met the Jesuits and read the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, which completely changed his life. In Trent, he met Father Diego Laínez (a Jesuit) and Francis Borgia. Laínez commented to Ignatius of Loyola in 1552, in Trent, about Gutierre de Vargas: "...not to fail with the Placentinian, because he is a Spaniard and fellow countryman, and almost a man of war, such that by force of arms he would make us answer if we did not want to do so willingly." From then on, Gutierre led a morally irreproachable life. C Q and Kane (talk) 20:55, 30 June 2023 (UTC) Gutierre fell ill with gout and died on April 27, 1559. His body was transferred to Madrid where it was buried in the chapel of Santa Maria and San Juan de Letran. This chapel had been founded by his father and completed by Gutierre himself in 1535. It has been known as the Chapel of the Bishop of Plasencia or simply the Bishop's Chapel ever since. The chapel's facade displays the name "Chapel of Our Lady and San Juan de Letran". In his will, the bishop is referred to as Gutierre Carvajal y Vargas.[reply]
