Giovanni Ludovico Madruzzo (German Baron Johann Ludwig von Madrutz ) (* 1532 in Trient ; † April 20, 1600 in Rome ) was a Tyrolean cardinal and bishop from the Madruzzo dynasty .

Life

Madruzzo came from a long-established family of politicians and church princes. He was a son of Niccolò Madruzzo and his wife Helene von Lamberg. He was the successor of his uncle Cristoforo Madruzzo on the Tridentine bishopric ; his nephew Carlo Madruzzo - also a cardinal - succeeded him.

In February 1561 Madruzzo received by Pope Pius IV. The cardinal's hat , and soon he was as Title Diakonie , the Church of San Callisto in Rome assigned. In 1562 he changed to Sant'Onofrio as a cardinal deacon and in 1569 became a cardinal priest of the same church. After being ordained priest in 1564 for his home diocese, he became Prince-Bishop of Trento in 1567 , but was not ordained bishop until 1570 by Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius . Due to the contrasts with Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol , who also occupied the diocese militarily in 1567, Madruzzo spent a long time in Rome and stayed there until the end of his life; only sporadically - as in 1579 - did he stay in Trento itself. After his death in 1600 Pope Clement VIII appointed Madruzzo's nephew, Carlo Madruzzo, to be his successor.

Giovanni Ludovico Madruzzo took part in the Augsburg Diet in 1582 as a papal legate and on August 12, 1582 donated the episcopal ordination to the new Trier Bishop Johann von Schönenberg (1525–1599).

In 1586 he became cardinal priest of Sant'Anastasia and in 1591 of San Lorenzo in Lucina . Pope Clement VIII finally raised him to the rank of Cardinal Bishop of Sabina in 1597 and, in the year of his death in 1600, Cardinal Bishop of Frascati .

In his longstanding cardinalate , Giovanni Ludovico Madruzzo was able to participate in seven papal elections : The conclaves of 1565/1566 , 1572 , 1585 , September 1590 , October – December 1590 , 1591 and 1592 .
