| | Pope Paul III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Under Pope Clement VII he became cardinal bishop of Portus (Ostia) and dean of the College of Cardinals, and on the death of Clement VII, in 1534, received election as pope. |
 | | With reference to the assassinated prince's inheritance, the restitution of which Paul III demanded ostensibly in the name and for the sake of the Church, the pope's design was thwarted by the emperor, who refused to surrender Piacenza, and by Pier Luigi's heir in Parma, Ottavio Farnese. |
 | | All that could henceforth be expected of the pope was that he would cooperate in the violent suppression of "heretics" in Germany, as he had done in Italy, by creating for their annihilation the arm of the revived Inquisition. |
