as cardinal, made bishop of
Palestrina on 7 June 1465, then of
Sabina on 11 December 1472;
made (honorary?) abbot of the abbey of
Redon in 1468.
He also held the benefices of the parish of
Marsac, which he resigned at the request of
Pierre II de Bretagne on 4 September 1451. It was he who created the parish of
Saint-Yves-des-Bretons in
Rome, with Pope Nicholas ceding Saint-André-de-Mortaraziis to the Breton nation, who reconsecrated it to their
saint Yves.

He opposed
Basilios Bessarion for his Greek background. He was sent as a pontifical legate to Charles VII, king of France, in 1456, charged by
Pope Calixtus III with making Charles set out on a crusade against the Turks. He died in
Rome, at his palace on
Campo de' Fiori, on 3 May 1474, and was buried in Rome. His monument at Santa Prassede was executed by
Andrea Bregno.
