Talk:Lorenzo Campeggio
Administrator of the Diocese of Salisbury
[edit]The succession box currently reads
However, it appears that the Vatican continued to recognize him as Administrator until (or until very close to) his death on 25 July 1539. The Calendar of State Papers for 31 Henry VIII no 1308 records that on 23 July 1539 'His Holiness gave the administration of the church of Salisbury in England to Gaspar card. Contarini'. I therefore propose to change the succession box to read that he was succeeded in 1534 by 1. Nicholas Shaxton as Church of England bishop of Salisbury. 2. Himself as Roman Catholic administrator of Salisbury (not recognized by the Crown).
I have used some shorthand to make the box more manageable.
There would then be another succession box covering 1534-39, showing Campeggio as preceded by himself and succeeded by Gasparo Contarini.
