GAMBARA, UBERTO. - Born in February 1489 in Brescia, died in Rome on 15 February 1549. At first destined for a military career, he later embraced the ecclesiastical one. Leo X appointed him apostolic protonotary. He was nuncio in England. Clement VII sent him to Francis I and then to Henry VIII to solicit French and English aid, while the wrath of the imperial forces descended upon Rome (1527).
Created governor of Bologna on 18 May 1528, he was appointed bishop of Tortona. As the question of the Council was then being debated, in December 1530 Clement VII sent G. to Liège to set before Charles V the obstacles to its convocation. On 19 December 1539 G. was created cardinal of St. Sylvester by Paul III.
