Julius III

Julius III. (Gian Maria del Monte) was born at Rome in 1487, was created cardinal in 1536, and after taking a leading part at the Council of Trent, succeeded to the Papacy in 1550. He died in 1555, having been remarkable since his election for nothing except his personal magnificence and his patronage of the Jesuits. Under him England was temporarily reconciled to the Roman see.
