(1) This is according to his first biography in Italian, linked above. Chacón, Vitæ, et res gestæ Pontificvm Romanorum et S. R. E. Cardinalivm, II, col. 1796, says that he was born in 1532. (2) This is according to his first biography in Italian, linked above. Weber, Genealogien zur Papstgeschichte, VI, 820, lists his father as Pietro Maria Rossi, marquis of San Secondo. (3) Cardella, Memorie storiche de' cardinali della Santa Romana Chiesa, V, 238. (4) Pavia was also known by its ancient name Ticinum and is how it is referred to in the cardinal's epitaph. It is today the capital of the province of Pavia and is called Ticino. (5) This title was erected in 1587. Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recentioris Aevi, III, indicates that he was cardinal deacon of S. Maria in Portico Octaviae when he opted for this new title but does not indicate when he opted for the order of cardinal priests. It was unusual for a bishop to be created cardinal deacon but the author in the section of the deaconry of S. Maria in Portico Octaviae does not mention that it had been elevated pro illa vice to title.

Novemb., citing the life of the cardinal written by Cardinal Cesare Baronio, whom he called Stephanus. The date coincides with the assertion of Cardella, Memorie storiche de' cardinali della Santa Romana Chiesa, V, 235, that when he went to Rome in 1563 he was in età di circa 23 anni and on p. 237, he adds that he died in 1611 at 70 pointing out that Chacón's transcription of the cardinal's epitaph (see note 4), is in error when it says that he was 60 (LX) when he died. His biography, linked above, indicates that he was born in 1551 but mentions that Gaetano Moroni in his Dizionario di Erudizione Storico-Eclesiastica indicates that he was born in 1541. Katterbach, Referendarii utriusque Signaturae, p. 134, also indicates that he died at 70.

(1) This is according to Kelly, The Oxford Dictionary of Popes, p. 275; and his genealogy linked above; his biography in The Catholic Encyclopedia, also linked above, indicates that he was born in March 1536; his first biography in Italian, linked above, gives March 4, 1536 as the date of his baptism and most probably that is also the year of his birth because it is very improbable that they would have waited over a year to baptize him; his second biography in Italian, linked above, says that he was born in 1535; and his genealogy, also linked above, says that he was born on February 24, 1535. Zedler, Grosses vollständiges Universal-Lexicon aller Wissenschafften und Künste, gives March 3, 1536, as the date of his birth. (2) This is according to Gauchat, Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recentioris Aevi, IV, 1, and Annuario Pontificio per l'anno 2006, p. 19*; The Catholic Encyclopedia, linked above; Kelly, The Oxford Dictionary of Popes, p. 275; and Zedler, Grosses vollständiges Universal-Lexicon aller Wissenschafften und Künste, say that he died on March 5, 1605. <CENTER><TABLE BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=2 CELLPADDING=2 ><TR> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="#Top">Top</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="consistories.htm">Consistories</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="catalogs.htm">Catalogs</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="cardinals.htm">Home</A></TD> </TR></TABLE></CENTER></DIV> ©1998-2018 Salvador Miranda. </BODY> </HTML>
