Additional notes
According to later authors, such as Alphonsus Ciacconius, Clement VI promoted also the following cardinals:
 Pierre Cyriac, bishop of Arras
 Matthäus an der Gassen, bishop of Brixen
 Étienne de la Garde, archbishop of Arles
 Dominic Serra, O. de M., master general of the Order of Mercedarians

Contemporary Vitae Clementis VI do not mention their promotions and explicitly say that Clement VI created only 25 cardinals. Konrad Eubel concluded that they should be eliminated from the list of cardinals. Pierre Cyriac did not exist at all and is confused with Pierre Bertrand, who actually was bishop of Arras and became cardinal in 1344, while the remaining three are genuine persons but they never became cardinals.
