biography
The noble family Albornoz entered the service of King Alfonso XI. of Castile (r. 1312-1350), fought with distinction against the Moors , saved the king's life in the battle of the Salado near Tarifa (1340), but fell out of favor with his successor, Peter the Cruel (r. 1350-1369) and fled to Pope Clement VI. to Avignon , who elevated him to cardinal and assigned him the titular church of San Clemente . After the by Cola di Rienzo in the Papal States aroused unrest ordered him Innocent VI. 1353 to his legate and vicar general in Italy and in the Papal States with extensive powers.
Albornoz succeeded in bringing the insubordinate robbery lords of the castle in Umbria , Sabina and Tuscia to submission; After Cola de Rienzo's death (October 8, 1354) he restored papal authority in Rome and by granting vicariate rights he also knew many dynasts, such as the Malatesta of Rimini , the Montefeltro of Urbino , the Ordelaffi of Forlì , and several cities , like Bologna , to induce recognition of papal suzerainty. He arranged the administration of the Papal State and gave it new codes of law (the "Egidians"). He made it possible for Pope Urban V to return to Italy (1367), greeted him in Viterbo and died there on August 24, 1367; his body was buried in the Capilla de San Ildefonso in the Cathedral of Toledo ; he received an elaborately designed late Gothic cenotaph with a reclining figure ( gisant ).
