In Apr. 1535 he was sent to the Emperor Charles V on a special mission concerning the Duchy of Camerino. From 1537 to Feb. 1540 he was nuncio in Venice, where he instituted proceedings against the slanderers of St. Ignatius, whose companions he helped, and he was always a friend of the Society. Nuncio in Germany to Ferdinand I (1541), he then moved to the Court of Charles V (Feb. 1545-Sept. 1547). He subsequently had to concern himself especially with the opening of the Council of Trent and with the war against the Schmalkaldic League. Made cardinal on 8 Apr. 1549, on 8 Sept. 1551 he was sent by Julius III to France to Henry II for the cessation of the war of Mirandola, but he could obtain nothing. On his return, he was a member of the Inquisition (1552-53) and of certain commissions.
