Life
At the age of ten he was appointed Apostolic Administrator of Milan to succeed his uncle of the same name . From March 1536 to 1539 he stayed at the court of King Francis I of France , who in 1539 enforced his appointment as cardinal , in the justified hope that Ippolito d'Este would consistently defend the interests of France and the “French party” in the Holy See represented.

On May 11, 1551, he resigned as administrator of Lyon to take it back on April 24, 1562 and finally to give it up on July 14, 1564. On June 27, 1550 he became administrator of Narbonne and on April 22, 1551 of Auch . He held the latter office until October 8, 1563. In 1555 he was reappointed administrator of Milan and resigned on December 16, 1556. Between 1562 and 1567 he was administrator of Arles .
