Talk:Ascanio Sforza
Introduction
[edit]The introduction is weak. It should state why Ascanio is important to history and his life accomplishments. Currently it dives into speaking about his life without stating why the reader should care. Anyone want to take a stab at this? Storm Rider (talk) 19:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Future major edit
[edit]I am going to edit this article and to give him proper shape for a Catholic Cardinal biography. There are some mistakes that I will correct. If anyone wants to help me or stop me, please answer to my talk page, or here.. I will read any opinion and will answer personally. Drjmarkov (talk) 06:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

'Ascanio entered the episcopate'
[edit]There is not, so far as I know, any evidence that Ascanio Sforza was ever consecrated a bishop. He was a Cardinal Deacon his entire career (though that's not proof).
See:
- Conradus Eubel, Hierarchia catholica medii aevi, sive Summorum pontificum, S.R.E. cardinalium, ecclesiarum antistitum series, editio altera, Tomus II (Monasterii 1913), pp. 20, 47, 48-49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 68, 83, 50, 139, 205, 212 and 214; where he is always referred to as 'Administrator'.

- Salvador Miranda, The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, Consistory of March 17, 1484, SFORZA, Ascanio Maria (1455-1505), retrieved: 2017-8-23.
I could add to the examples, e.g. Ciaconius, Cardella. But there is no evidence.
