- ↑ Miranda names Giandomenico de Cupis , François de Tournon , Gian Pietro Carafa , Rodolfo Pio , Pedro Sarmiento , Giovanni Girolamo Morone , Marcello Cervini , Girolamo Verallo , Francesco Pisani and Reginald Pole . However, this is not possible with Cardinal Sarmiento, as he had already died in 1541.
