Cardinal Fesch the monarch’s rogue prelate and heir to Rome
A sensational portrait of Joseph Cardinal Fesch born Ajaccio 1763. It claims he converted to Islam in Algiers, recanted, covertly rose through church ranks, and became Archbishop of Lyons in 1802. The piece details his libertine escapades in Lyons and Paris, his marriage scandal with a Corsican wife, papal pressure, and a bribery bond with Girot. It ends predicting his eventual papal accession and distant succession to the pontificate.
