Though Expected To Take Part In The Negotiations Which Led In 1648 To The Peace Of Westphalia Bishop Chigi And Other Catholic Delegates Declined To Deliberate With Persons Whom The Catholic Church Considered Heretics. Negotiations Therefore Took Place In Two Cities Osnabrück And Münster In Westphalia With Intermediaries Travelling Back And Forth Between The Protestant And The Catholic Delegates.

Pope Clement X Latin: Clemens X; 1590 - 1676 Born Emilio Bonaventura Altieri Was Pope From 29 April 1670 To His Death In 1676. Emilio Boneventura Altieri Was Born In Rome In 1590 The Son Of Lorenzo Altieri And Victoria Delfin A Noble Venetian Lady Sister Of Flaminio Delfin Commander General Of The Papal Armies And Of Gentile Delfin Bishop Of Camerino. His Brother Was Giambattista Altieri. The Altieri Family Belonged To The Ancient Roman Nobility And Had Enjoyed The Highest Consideration At Rome For Several Centuries; They Had Occasionally Contracted Alliances With The Colonnas And The Orsinis. During Earlier Pontificates The Altieri Held Many Important Offices And Had Been Entrusted With Several Delicate Missions. All But One Of The Male Scions Of The Altieri Family Had Chosen The Ecclesiastical Career. On His Accession To The Papacy Clement X In Order To Save The Altieri Name From Extinction Adopted The Paoluzzi Family And Proposed That One Of The Paluzzi Should Marry Laura Caterina Altieri The Sole Heiress Of The Family. In Exchange For Adopting The Altieri Surname He Would Make One Of The Paoluzzi A Cardinal. Following The Wedding Which He Officiated He Appointed His Relative By Marriage Cardinal Paoluzzi-Altieri The Uncle Of Laura's New Husband To The Office Of Cardinal Nephew To Take On The Duties Which He Was Prevented From Doing By Age. The Main Activity Was To Invest The Church's Money And With Advancing Years Gradually Entrusted To Him The Management Of Affairs To Such An Extent That The Romans Said He Had Reserved To Himself Only The Episcopal Functions Of Benedicere Et Sanctificare Resigning In Favour Of The Cardinal The Administrative Duties Of Regere Et Gubernare. In 1671 The Pope Published An Edict By Which He Declared That A Noble Might Be A Merchant Without Loss Of His Nobility Provided Always That He Did Not Sell By Retail. Queen Christina Of Sweden Who Had Become A Catholic And Moved To Rome In December 1655 Made Clement X Prohibit The Custom Of Chasing Jews Through The Streets During The Carnival. In 1686 She Issued A Declaration That Roman Jews Stood Under Her Protection Signed La Regina - The Queen. Giovanni. Battista Hacque/ Hacque, Johann Baptist unknown
