Crown Cardinal
A crown-cardinal () was a cardinal protector of a Roman Catholic nation, nominated or funded by a Catholic monarch to serve as their representative within the College of Cardinals and, on occasion, to exercise the right claimed by some monarchs to veto a candidate for election to the papacy.

Usually unable to take part in the '' pratiche'', they were not '' papabili'' and rarely received more than one or two votes".Baumgartner, 2003, p. ...
