Nicola Capocci
Nicola Capocci († July 26, 1368 in Monte Falcone , Montefiascone ) was a cardinal of the Roman Church .
Capocci came from an Italian noble family. He studied law at the University of Perugia and created the Collegium Gregorianum there in 1362 . First he was a canon in Thérouanne and then for a time he worked as a clerk to the French king. Under Pope Benedict XII. he worked on the creation of the Roman Rota .
Capocci was then appointed bishop of Utrecht in January 1341 , but this was not feasible against a large opposing force that would have liked to see Jan van Bronkhorst as bishop. He therefore withdrew from Utrecht within a year. Capocci was Bishop of Urgell in Spain from 1348 to 1351 . Pope Clement VI appointed him on December 17, 1350 cardinal with the titular church of San Vitale .
Capocci was the papal legate in France, mainly to achieve peace with England. In 1356 he traveled there with Élie Talleyrand de Périgord , shortly before the Battle of Maupertuis . Capocci fell out with Talleyrand and acted independently from Paris. In June 1357 he was in England, again with Talleyrand. In the middle of the year 1358 Pope Innocent VI lost. and his legates believe in an agreement.
From 1361 he was Cardinal Bishop of Frascati . Capocci was buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.
