CAMPEGGIO, LORENZO (1464-1539), Italian cardinal, was born at Milan. At first he followed a legal career at Pavia and Bologna. In 1510 he went into the Church. For his services dur ing the rebellion of Bologna Julius II. made him auditor of the Rota in I5I I and sent him to Maximilian and to Vienna as nuncio. Raised to the see of Feltre in 1512, he went on another embassy to Maximilian in 1513, and was created cardinal priest of San Tommaso in Pavione in 1517. Leo X., needing a subsidy from the English clergy, sent Campeggio to England in 1518, ostensibly to arrange a crusade against the Turks. Though his mission failed, on his return to Rome Campeggio was received in Consistory in 1519 with the gift from the king of the palace of Cardinal Adriano Castellesi (q.v.), who had been deposed. He was made protector of England in the Roman curia ; and in 1524 Henry VIII. gave him the rich see of Salisbury, and the pope gave him the arch bishopric of Bologna. After attending the diet of Regensburg, he shared the captivity of Clement VII. during the sack of Rome in 1527, and did much to restore peace. On Oct. I, 1528, he arrived in England as co-legate with Wolsey in the matter of Henry's divorce. He brought with him a secret document, the Decretal, which defined the law and left the legates to decide the question of fact ; but this important letter was to be shown only to Henry and Wolsey. "Owing to recent events," that is, the loss of the temporal power, Clement was in no way inclined to offend the vic torious Charles V., Catherine's nephew, and Campeggio was in structed to divert the king from his purpose and protract the mat ter as long as possible. When the legatine court was opened at Blackfriars, on June 18, 1529, the result was certain. Campeggio could not by the terms of his commission give sentence; so his only escape was to prorogue the court on July 23 on the plea of the Roman vacation. Having failed to satisfy the king, he left England on Oct. 26, 1529, after his baggage had been searched at Dover to find the Decretal, which, however, had been burnt. Re turning to Bologna, the cardinal assisted at the coronation of Charles V. on Feb. 24, 1530, and went with him to the diet of Augsburg. He was deprived by Henry of the English protector ate; and when sentence was finally given against the divorce, Campeggio lost the see of Salisbury as a non-resident alien, by act of parliament (March i 1, ; in he became cardinal bishop of Sabina, and died in Rome on July
