Giordano Pironti
Giordano Pironti dei Conti di Terracina (born Terracina, ca. 1210; died in Viterbo, 1 October 1269) was an Italian aristocrat, papal bureaucrat, and Roman Catholic Cardinal. His family included a brother, Pietro, and three nephews, Pietro, Giovanni and Paolo. On 12 June 1256, a document is signed by Pironti as ''Magister'', ''Subdiaconus'' and ''Notarius''. Joachim Johrendt labels it as 'unsicher' ('uncertain') whether Giordano Pironti was a Canon of the Vatican Basilica before he became a cardinal. It is pointed out that in his Testament Cardinal Pironti left a legacy to the Basilica, and that persons who held his office as Vice-Chancellor sometimes were also Canons of the Vatican Basilica. This is very thin material indeed. The canonry is more 'imaginary' than 'uncertain'. From 1257 (at some point between March and June) to 1262 he was Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church. He was named a Cardinal by Pope Urban IV in the Consistory of 22 May 1262, and was assigned the Deac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
