Sadoleto (1477-1547), cardinal and bishop of Carpentras, helped in the preparations of the Council of Trent. He was a dedicated servant to papacy and was involved in the negociations between Francis I and Charles V leading to the Truce of Nice in 1538.
He also tried to win back the Protestants by persuasion and presenting the catholic religion under a conciliatory form.
