This review is from: The Life of Cardinal Innocenzo Del Monte: A Scandal in Scarlet (Renaissance Studies, V. 2) (Hardcover)
This book probably tells us all there is to know about the improbable career of Innocnzo Del Monte, who was the adopted nephew of Pope Julius III. In this book one can learn the youngest person ever named a Cardinal (he was appointed, not in the 1400s, but in 1735!), and the youngest cardinal ever in a conclave, and the last cardinal to be degraded and executed. But this is no National Enquirer type of book, but a meticulous examination of a fascinating episode in Church History, even though Innocenzo deservedly is forgotten today. I found this book a really fascinating one, and am grateful I learned of it.
