Talk:Vicedomino de Vicedominis

nephew or cousin or both?
One has to go. I eliminated 'cousin', on the grounds that Vicedomino was the son of Gregory X's sister. I eliminated 'Cardinal-nephew', on the grounds that neither the recognized office, nor the functions, existed between June 3, 1273 (when Vicedomino was named cardinal) and January 10, 1276 (when Gregory died)--And, if Vicedomino were only a cousin, the term 'cardinal-nephew' is irrelevant. The term 'cardinal-nephew' implies that the pope in office turns over the regular business of international affairs to his nephew; no such thing can be demonstrated for Vicedomino--I challenge anybody to try. Besides, St. Bonaventure and Ottobono Fieschi were running the business, and it was during the Ecumenical Council of Vienne, when business was being handled in a committee-of-the-whole. But every pope appoints relatives to the cardinalate, for political support. Boniface VIII appointed five of them. A rule had to be demanded which limited the number to two.

Pope-Elect Stephen
The reference has nothing to do with Vicedomino. I propose eliminating it. Vicedomino (talk) 08:35, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
