104 HISTORY OF THE POPES.
Cardinal. In January, 1562, he was fixed upon as sixth legate
for the Council of Trent. ^ In all these positions he proved
his worth as little as did his brother, Jakob Hannibal, in his
mission to the court of Philip II. of Spain. ^ Gabriel von
Hohenems was distinguished by being sent on an expedition
to France, while his sister Margaret was married to a nephew
of Cardinal Madruzzo.^
Neither the Hohenems nor the Serbelloni attained to any
great importance in Roman affairs in the years which followed,
the whole of the Pope's affection being centred in the Borromei.

Mark Sittich was spoken of as a candidate for the purple in a
letter of Cardinal Truchsess of May 18, 1560 (Correspondence, 166)
and also in the *report of G. Grandi of September 12, 1560 (State
Archives, Modena). The Altemps, Dukes of Gallese, trace their
origin from Roberto, the natural son of Mark Sittich, afterwards
legitimatized (see Bergmann, loc. cit., XL, 6 seq. ; cf. Litta, 91).
With regard to the coat of arms of Cardinal Altemps see Archives

A magnificent chimney piece, with a beautiful bust of Mark
Sittich, came from the Palazzo Altemps to the Villa Malta, the
Roman residence of that lover of the arts, Prince Biilow.
2 As an amplification of the details in Susta, Kurie, I., 317,
319, cf. the **letters of Pius IV., to Hannibal von Hohenems,
dated Rome, January 22, March 5 (App. no. 15) and 31, May 5 and
21,1 561 , which contain sharp reprimands of Hannibal's behaviour.
However, when he showed sorrow the Pope forgave him, in a
*letter of October 8, i 562. In a *letter of November 26, 1562, the
Pope orders him to remain in Spain for the present. All these
letters are to be found in the original in the archives at Hohenems.
