Jaime de Casanova (died 1504) (called Cardinal Casanova) was a Spanish Roman Catholic cardinal.
Jaime de Casanova was born in Xàtiva, ca. 1435. [1]
Early in his career, Casanova came under the protection of Cardinal Roderic Llançol i de Borja (the future Pope Alexander VI). [1] In Rome, he became abbreviatore di parco minore; then a papal notary; and then a protonotary apostolic. [1] In 1492, he was a witness at the dissolution of the marriage of Lucrezia Borgia and Gaspare Aversa, and in 1493, was a witness at her marriage to Giovanni Sforza. [1] In 1497, he became an officiali audientie contradictarum, and in 1498 a papal chamberlain. [1]
Pope Alexander VI made him a cardinal priest in the consistory of 31 May 1503. [1] He received the titular church of Santo Stefano Rotondo on 12 June 1503. [1]
In August 1503, he was present at the Papal Mass performed for the dying pope. [1] The pope died on 18 August 1503; the next day his son Cesare Borgia sent Michelotto Corella and a band of thugs to the Papal Apartments, where they pulled a knife on Cardinal Casanova and demanded he give them all the money in the apartments. [1] Terrified, Cardinal Casanova handed over the keys. [1]
He participated in the papal conclave of September 1503, though his participation was limited by bad health. [1] He participated in the consecration of Pope Pius III, but not his coronation. [1] He then participated in the papal conclave of October 1503 that elected Pope Julius II. [1] He was able to attend the new pope's coronation, but not his first consistory and meeting of the College of Cardinals. [1] His health recovered a little in spring 1504. [1]
He died in Rome on 4 June 1504. [1] He is buried in Santa Maria del Popolo. [1]

The October 1503 papal conclave elected Giuliano della Rovere as Pope Julius II to succeed Pope Pius III. The conclave took place during the Italian Wars barely a month after the papal conclave, September 1503, and none of the electors had travelled far enough from Rome to miss the conclave. The number of participating cardinals was thirty-eight, the College of Cardinals having been reduced by the election of Piccolomini as Pius III, who did not elevate cardinals. At a consistory on October 11, Pope Pius had proposed to make Cardinal d'Amboise's nephew a cardinal, as part of his effort to conciliate the French, but the response from the Cardinals was not enthusiastic.
