Karl Von Miltitz
Karl von Miltitz (c. 1490 – 20 November 1529) was a papal ''nuncio'' and a Mainz Cathedral canon. Biography He was born in Rabenau near Meißen and Dresden, his family stemming from the lesser Saxon nobility. He studied at Mainz, Trier, Cologne (1508–1510), and Bologna (1510–?), but his deficient Latin reveals that he was not especially learned. He went to the Roman curia in 1513 or 1514. In his career at the papal court he was unable to rise further than papal chamberlain and secretary. His Saxon heritage, however, made him a natural liaison between the papal court and Elector Frederick the Wise. On 3 September 1518 Pope Leo X decided to bestow on Frederick the papal Golden Rose of Virtue — an award with attendant religious privileges to deserving princes, with the aim of securing the support of Frederick the Wise in suppressing the attacks of Martin Luther on indulgences in the Church. On 15 October 1518 Miltitz was appointed ''nuncio'' to deliver the rose to the ele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
