INNOCENT IX

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 582 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INNOCENT IX . (Giovanni Antonio Fachinetti) was born in 1519. He filled the offices of apostolic
vicar
  of
Avignon
 , legate at the
council
  of Trent, nuncio to Venice, and
president
  of the
Inquisition
 . He became
cardinal
  in 1583; and under the invalid Gregory XIV. assumed almost the entire conduct of affairs. His election to the papacy, on the 29th of October 1J91, was brought about by Philip II., who profited little by it, however, inasmuch as Innocent soon succumbed to age and feebleness, dying on the 3oth of
December
  1591.
See Ciaconius, Vitae et res gestae summorum Pontiff. Rom. (Rome, 16011602); Cicarella, continuator of Platina, De Vitis Pontiff. Rom.. (both contemporaries of Innocent); Ranke, Popes (Eng. trans., Austin), ii. 233 sq. (all brief accounts). (T. F. C.)
