FRANCISCO DE SAN LUIS. - Portuguese cardinal and writer, b. at Ponte de Lima on 26 Jan. 1766, d. at Marvilla on 7 May 1845. A Benedictine at the age of 14, he soon reached high ranks in the ecclesiastical hierarchy (bishop of Coimbra, then cardinal and patriarch of Lisbon) and in the secular sphere (member of the Regency, president of the Chamber of Deputies, minister, etc.).

He left numerous publications concerning, in general, the kings of Portugal. As a writer he is heavy and artificial. To distinguish him from namesakes he is usually designated as Cardinal Saraiva. In the world, in fact, his name was F. Justiniano de S.
