Cardinals created by Celestine II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pope Celestine II (1143–1144) created nine cardinals in one consistory:[1]

Consistory of 17 December 1143[]

  • Manfredo[2] — cardinal-priest of S. Sabina, † 1157
  • Raniero[3] — cardinal-priest of S. Stefano in Monte Celio, † shortly before 22. December 1144
  • Ariberto[4] — cardinal-priest of S. Anastasia, † 1156
  • Rodolfo[5] — cardinal-deacon of S. Lucia in Septisolio, † after 17 July 1167
  • [6] — cardinal-deacon of S. Angelo, then (April 1154) cardinal-bishop of Sabina, † 1154
  • [7] — cardinal-deacon of S. Eustachio, then (2 March 1151) cardinal-priest of S. Prisca, † 1161
  • ,[8] Can.Reg. — cardinal-deacon of S. Maria Nuova, † 1152
  • Giovanni Paparoni[9] — cardinal-deacon of S. Adriano, then (2 March 1151) cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Damaso † towards the end of 1153
  • [10] — cardinal-deacon of S. Lucia in Orphea, then (19 May 1144) cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Lucina, † 21 September 1150

Additional notes[]

Apart from the cardinals mentioned above sometimes it is erroneously claimed that Celestine II created also some other persons to the cardinalate, who actually were created by other popes or are confused with other cardinals.

Cardinal-priests Giulio of S. Marcello and Robert Pullen of S. Martino, and cardinal-deacon Giacinto Bobone (future pope Celestine III) almost certainly were created by Lucius II.[11] On the other hand, cardinal-deacon Gregorio[12] is attested as cardinal already under Innocent II.[13] Also cardinal Guido de Summa,[14] appointed by Celestine II to the rank of cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Damaso, probably was already a cardinal-deacon under Innocent II.[15]

Cardinal-priest Gezo of S. Susanna, who allegedly subscribed a bull on 15 March 1144,[16] certainly "owes" his existence wrong transcription of the signature Goizo presbiter cardinalis tituli S. Caeciliae.[17]

Finally, cardinal Ugo Misani of Bologna, ostensibly created cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Lucina,[18] is undoubtedly the same person as cardinal-deacon Ugo of S. Lucia in Septisolio, who was promoted to the rank of cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Lucina by Lucius II, and was born in Novara, not in Bologna.[19]
