Gustav Adolph zu Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst was the son of Franz Koseph, Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst (1787-1841). In 1866 he became a cardinal. He participated in the Vatican Council of 1869-1870 but when it became clear that papal infallibility would be decreed, he left for Germany. In 1872 Bismarkc appointed him ambassador to the Holy Chair, but pope Pio IX refused him and the post remained vacant. After Leo XIII became pope his influence increased and in 1879 he became bishop of Albano. |
