Innocent IX, mindful of the origin of…

December 1591 CE

Innocent IX, mindful of the origin of his success, supports the cause of Philip II and the Catholic League against Henry IV of France in the civil Wars of Religion, where a papal army is in the field.

Death, however, does not permit the realization of the pope’s schemes.

His great-nephew Giovanni Antonio Cardinal Facchinetti de Nuce, juniore, is one of two Cardinals appointed during Innocent IX's two-month pontificate.

A later member of the Cardinalate is his great-grandnephew Cesare Facchinetti (made a Cardinal in 1643).

After the death of Innocent on December 30, 1591, another stormy conclave ensues, where a determined minority of Italian Cardinals are unwilling to be dictated to by Philip of Spain.
