  2. ↑ The day of death according to the necrology of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, see F. Duchesne, Histoire de tous les cardinaux françois , Vol. 2, Paris 1660, p. 99. Only 1161 can be considered the year of death, cf. Brixius, p. 44; the statement by Zenker, p. 46, that he died in 1162 should be corrected.
