Cardinals created by Lucius II

Catholic appointments in 1144 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pope Lucius II (1144–1145) created eleven cardinals in two consistories.[1]

Consistories

19 May 1144

22 December 1144

Additional notes

According to Lorenzo Cardella[2] Lucius II promoted also Nikolaus of Germany to the rank of cardinal-deacon or cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Damaso, but no such cardinal appears among signatories of the papal bulls.[3] Cardella mentions also cardinal-deacon Guy of S. Maria in Portico[4] but he was created only by Eugene III and is identical with future Antipope Paschalis III.[5] Besides, it is possible that Lucius II promoted also cardinal-deacon Pietro of S. Maria in Via Lata,[6] but most probably he was created by Eugene III in March 1145.[7]
