Seen by his contemporaries as staunchly ¿?¿French', his life rather followed a difficult balance between the political and spatial entities ¿?¿ Rome, Paris, and Ferrara ¿?¿ through which he continuously moved and from which he derived his power. Following his career as cardinal protector of the Valois crown, royal administrator of Siena on behalf of Henry II, and papal legate to France on the eve of the Wars of Religion, this book argues that Ippolito's apparent diplomatic access ultimately weakened his family's position in Italy and left it ill-equipped to compete in the changing politics of the peninsula. 517 $apath of pleasantness 606 $aNobility 606 $aPapacy 606 $aCourts and courtiers 607 $aFrance 615 0$aNobility. 615 0$aPapacy. 615 0$aCourts and courtiers. 676 $a920 700 $aVidori$b Giulia$01281070 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910491041503321 996 $aThe Path of Pleasantness$93018004 997 $aUNINA
