Henry VII., to the see of See also:Hereford, and in the following See also:year to the more lucrative See also:diocese of See also:Bath and See also:Wells, but he never resided in either. Returning to See also:Rome, he became secretary to See also:Alexander VI. and was made by him cardinal (May 31, 1503). A See also:man of doubtful reputation, Alexander's confidant and favourite, he paid the See also:pope a large sum for his See also:elevation. He bought a vigna in the Borgo near the Vatican, and thereon erected a sumptuous See also:palace after designs by See also:Bramante; and it was here, in the summer of 1503, that he entertained the pope and Cesare See also:Borgia at a banquet that went on till nightfall despite the unhealthy See also:season of the year, when See also:ague in its most See also:malignant See also:form was rife. Of the three, Cardinal See also:Adrian was the first to fall See also:ill, the pope succumbing a See also:week after. The See also:story of the poisoning of the pope is to be relegated to the See also:realm of fiction. Soon after the See also:election of See also:Leo X. the cardinal was implicated in the See also:conspiracy of Cardinal See also:Petrucci against the pope, and confessed his See also:guilt; but, See also:pardon being offered only on See also:condition of the See also:payment of 25,000 ducats, he fled from Rome and was subsequently deposed from the cardinalate. As See also:early as 1504 he had presented his palace (now the Palazzo See also:Giraud-Torlonia) to Henry VII. as a See also:residence for the See also:English See also:ambassador to the See also:Holy See; and on his See also:flight Henry VIII., who had quarrelled with him, gave it to Cardinal See also:Campeggio. Adrian first fled to See also:Venice. Of his subsequent See also:history nothing is known for certain. It is said that he was murdered by a servant when on his way to the See also:conclave that elected Adrian VI. As a writer, he was one of the first to restore the Latin See also:tongue to its pristine purity; and among his See also:works are De See also:Vera Plzilosophia ex quatuor doctoribus ecclesiae (See also:Bologna, 1507), De Sermone Latino (See also:Basel, 1513), and a poem, De Venatione (Venice, 1534).
