Vicedomino de Vicedominis

Vicedomino de VicedominisHis name is sometimes referred as Guglielmo Visconti, but this is incorrect. (died September 6, 1276 in Viterbo) was an Italian cardinal and cardinal-nephew of Pope Gregory X, his cousin who elevated him on June 3, 1273. From 1257 until 1273 he was archbishop of Aix, then cardinal-bishop of PalestrinaMiranda, Salvator. 1998. "Consistory of June 3, 1273.". He possibly became dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals in July 1275This is according to Miranda, Salvator. 1998. "Consistory of June 3, 1273." However, in the bulls of Gregory X that contain subscriptions of the cardinals he is always preceded by Pedro Juliani, which puts into question the accuracy of this statement; cfr. the bulls published in Monumenta Boica, vol. 12, p. 138, and vol. 17 pp. 123-124..
According to the later accounts, attested for the first time in 17th century, in the papal election held after the death of Pope Adrian V he was elected to the papacy on September 5, 1276 and took the name Gregory XI, but having died the following day early in the morning, his election is not recorded as he was never proclaimedCfr. Miranda, Salvator. 1998. "Consistory of June 3, 1273.". Credibility of this story is contested by modern historians because is not supported by any contemporary sourceRichard Stapper, Papst Johannes XXI, Kirchengeschichtliche Studien, Munster 1898, p. 34 ff.
