Pope Gregory X (1271–1276) create five cardinals in one consistory.

Contents

Consistory of 3 June 1273

  • Pedro Julião, archbishop of Braga — cardinal-bishop of Frascati, then (15. September 1276) Pope John XXI, † 20 May 1277
  • Vicedomino de Vicedominis, nephew of His Holiness and archbishop of Aix — cardinal-bishop of Palestrina, † 6 September 1276
  • Bonaventure, O.F.M., Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor — cardinal-bishop of Albano, † 15 July 1274
  • Pierre de Tarentaise, O.P., archbishop of Lyon — cardinal-bishop of Ostia e Velletri, then (21 January 1276) Pope Innocent V † 22 June 1276
  • Bertrand de Saint-Martin, O.S.B., archbishop of Arles — cardinal-bishop of Sabina, † 28 March 1278 (?)

    • "Presumed cardinals"

    According to Cardella in 1275 Gregory X celebrated the second consistory for the creation of two additional cardinals, but modern scholars have established that this never happened:

    Apart from the lack of any documentary proof attesting the promotion of these individuals (in the case of Visconti - even of his existence), the contemporary chronicler Salimbene explicitly says that the consistory of 1273 was the only single promotion of the new cardinals in the pontificate of Gregory X, and mentions only five cardinals promoted at that time.
