Ludovico Madruzzo (1532-1600) [1] was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal and statesman, the Imperial crown-cardinal and Prince-Bishop of the Bishopric of Trento (involving the secular rule as well as church duties).
Born in Trento, he was the son of baron Niccolò Madruzzo and Helene of Lamberg, and nephew of Cristoforo Madruzzo, Prince-Bishop of Trento. [2] He studied at the universities of Leuven and Paris.
In 1550 his uncle Cristoforo, named Governor of Milan, entrusted him the administration of the Bishopric of Trento, where the Council of Trent had been in intermittent progress since 1545; it was to continue until 1563. After numerous important diplomatic and political experiences (including the mourning discourse at Charles V's funeral), he was created cardinal in 1561 by Pope Pius IV, given the titular church of San Callisto. [3] Six years later he was appointed titular of the diocese of Trento. [1]
Madruzzo took part in the last Council of Trent in 1562-3, the Diet of Augsburg in 1582 and Diet of Regesburg in 1594; he also attended imperial court in 1581. [1]
Under agreements between Bernardo Clesio and Cristoforo Madruzzo, the bishopric had gained a substantial independence from the Habsburg-controlled county of Tyrol, and this caused strife between Ludovico and the Austrian archduke (and future emperor) Ferdinand II. The latter invaded Trentine territory in 1567, and Ludovico moved to Rome, waiting for a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Trento's authority was re-established by the Diet of Speyer in 1587.
Ludovico Madruzzo was a friend of St. Charles Borromeo and St. Philip Neri.
He died in Rome in 1600, two months after being appointed Cardinal-Bishop of Frascati. [4] He was succeeded by his nephew Carlo Gaudenzio.
Alessandro Farnese, an Italian cardinal and diplomat and a great collector and patron of the arts, was the grandson of Pope Paul III, and the son of Pier Luigi Farnese, Duke of Parma, who was murdered in 1547. He should not be confused with his nephew, Alessandro Farnese, Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, grandson of Emperor Charles V and great-grandson of Pope Paul III.

The Diocese of Frascati is a Latin suburbicarian see of the Diocese of Rome and a diocese of the Catholic Church in Italy, based at Frascati, near Rome. The bishop of Frascati is a Cardinal Bishop; from the Latin name of the area, the bishop has also been called Bishop of Tusculum. Tusculum was destroyed in 1191. The bishopric moved from Tusculum to Frascati, a nearby town which is first mentioned in the pontificate of Pope Leo IV. Until 1962, the Cardinal-Bishop was concurrently the diocesan bishop of the see. Pope John XXIII removed the Cardinal Bishops from any actual responsibility in their suburbicarian dioceses and made the title purely honorific.

More generally, the term may refer to any cardinal significant as a secular statesman or elevated at the request of a monarch.
