He was also a member of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. Cardinal Bandini became interested in the new negotiations with England, open during the engagement, doomed to fail, of the son of King James I, Charles, prince of Wales, future King Charles I, to the Infanta of Spain, and, after complex negotiations, the cardinal obtained from a special commission an opinion in favor of dispensation of marriage in return for certain concessions which it was hoped would be made concerning the freedom of Catholicism in England.

From January 1627 to July 28, 1628, Cardinal Bandini participated, on behalf of the S.C. of Propaganda Fide, in the negotiations with the patriarch of Constantinople, Cyril Lucaris, for an attempt at rapprochement with the Eastern Church. The negotiations were not too skilled and largely based on incorrect information about the patriarch, who appeared at the end to have Calvinist sympathies. Death. August 1, 1629 (3), at 8 a.m., Rome. Exposed in the church of S. Agostino, Rome, where the funeral took place in the presence of the pope and the Sacred College of Cardinals; and buried on the left side of the chapel dell'Assunta (Cappella Bandini), in the church of S.
