Early life

Alessandro Crivelli was born in Milan in 1514, the son of Antonio Crivelli, count of Lomello, and his wife Costanza Landriani.[1] He was related to Pope Urban III.[1]

He entered the military at a young age. He rose to the rank of colonel of the Army of the Holy Roman Empire.[1] He became a member of the senate and Consiglio dei 60 of Milan.[1] He married Margherita de Scarampi and had three children, Antonio, Girolamo, and Luigi.[1]

After the death of his wife on March 10, 1561, he left the military and became a priest.[1] On March 10, 1561, he was elected Bishop of Cozenza and Cariati, and he was subsequently consecrated as a bishop.[1] From November 1561 to November 1565, he was nuncio in Spain.[1]

Pope Pius IV made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of March 12, 1565.[1] He did not participate in the papal conclave of 1565-66 that elected Pope Pius V.[1] He received the red hat and the deaconry of San Giovanni a Porta Latina (a titular church declared a deaconry pro illa vice) on February 8, 1566.[1] He opted for the order of cardinal priests.[1]

He resigned the government of his diocese sometime before January 23, 1568.[1] On November 20, 1570, he opted for the titular church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli.[1] He participated in the papal conclave of 1572 that elected Pope Gregory XIII.[1]

He died in Rome on December 22, 1574.[1] He was buried in Santa Maria in Aracoeli.[1]

gollark: That depends on how much people are committing crimes due to impulse things, and how salient that sort of thing actually is in decision-making wrt. criming crimes.
