Guido Farnese

Orvieto Cathedral

Guido Farnese († 1328 ; also Guitto and Guittone Farnese ) was Bishop of Orvieto .

origin

He came from the Italian noble family Farnese , which is derived from Pietro, Lord of Farnese and Latera ( f. 1100). He was a son of Ranuccio Farnese, lord of Ischia and Farnese, war captain of the city of Orvieto . His brother Niccola was the direct ancestor of Alessandro Farnese when Pope (1534–1545) Paul III.

Life

Boniface VIII appointed him bishop of Orvieto in 1302 , although he had only received minor orders . He held the office until his death. In June 1307 Clement V appointed him vicar in spiritualibus in Rome, but dismissed him in November because of the complaints of influential Romans. A 15th century chronicle reports that in January 1309 he inaugurated Orvieto's cathedral, which was not yet completed . Very little is known about his other pastoral activities. Guido was under John XXII. from September 27, 1319 vicar and from June 2, 1320 rector of the ecclesiastical patrimony in Tuszien.During his time as vicar he wrote a report for the Pope on the property claims of the Roman Church in this part of the Papal States with suggestions, such as the rebellious cities and noble lords could be brought back under the domination of the church. At the beginning of 1323 he renounced the office of rector in order to devote himself entirely to his episcopal duties. However, even the Pope mentions the criticism of Farnese's opponents, who apparently did not transfer the money they were entitled to to the papal chamber in Avignon during his term of office , which is why the Pope ordered the confiscation of his estate after his death. This met with resistance from both his successor in the episcopate, Tramo, and his illegitimate son Nino. In 1332 an attempt was made to come to an agreement with his son, but in 1339 the matter had not yet come to a definitive conclusion.
