The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church
Deaconries
S. Adriano al Foro --- S. Eustachio
S. Adriano al ForoAccording to Liber Pontificalis, the Church of S. Adriano al Foro was founded by Pope Honorius I about 630 in the ancient Curia Hostilia. The church is mentioned ca. 650. It was designated by Pope Sergius as the starting point for the litanies during certain religious celebrations. It was erected as a deaconry in the VIII Region of Rome by Pope Saint Gregory III about 734 and confirmed by Pope Adrian I around 775. It was situated in the VIII Roman Region (Augustea). Because of the destruction of the ancient church for the restoration of the "curia del Senato", the deaconry was suppressed by the apostolic constitution Sanct Hadriani Ecclesia, January 25, 1946, of Pope Pius XII (1939-1958) and transferred to the church of S. Paolo alla Regola.

S. Agata alla Suburra
See S. Agata de' Goti
S. Agata de' GotiIts church is of ancient origin. It was an Arian church during the Gothic occupation in the 6th Century. The building was embellished by the Goths and became known as S. Agata de' Goti. The church was reconsecrated in 593 by Pope Saint Gregory I the Great (590-604). The deaconry was established by Pope Leo III (795-816) as S. Agatha in Diaconia (or del Caval di Marmo, or in Equo Marmoreo, because of its proximity to an equestrian statue of Julius Caesar). The church was located in the southern side of the alta Semita, current site of the public garden of the Qurinale. It was in the VI Roman Region (Augustea). When the church became a ruin in the first half of the 16th Century, the deaconry was transferred to S. Agata alla Suburra (or Suburbia). During the pontificate of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), the title became S. Agata de' Goti.

(1) Annuaire Pontifical Catholique indicates that Cristofori lists a Cardinal Gionata (or Jonathan), seniore, as occupant of this deaconry from 1008 to 1006? (sic) but his dates are certainly wrong since many authors such as Chacón, Moroni, Mas-Latrie, etc., place this cardinal at the end of the XI Century, ca. 1099, close enough, consequently, to Gionata, iuniore (1120) to justify his nickname.
(2) Annuaire Pontifical Catholique indicates that Cristofori erroneously lists his dates as 1145 to 1146 and a Cardinal Rolando, O.S.B., as occupant of this deaconry from 1150 to 1154, which is also mistaken.
(3) Cristofori lists Cardinal Bonifacio as occupant of this title in 1159 but his existence has not been ascertained.
(4) He may be the same as Gandolfo, O.S.B. (1186).
(5) This is the sequence of occupants according to Cristofori, Cardinals Leonardo Cibo (1402-1404); Jean Gilles (1405-1407); Pierre de Foix, le vieux, O.F.M. (1408-1417); Francesco Zabarella (1411-1417); Ardicino della Porta (1426-1434); Alain de Coëtivy, in commendam (1455-1474); Pedro de Ferris, in commendam (1476-1477); Pierre de Foix, le jeune, (1477-1490); Alessandro Farnese (1493-1503), in commendam (1503-1513).

(2) Cristofori lists him as occupant of this deaconry between 1206 and 1221 and then Aldebrandino between 1221 and 1223.
(3) Cristofori lists him among the deacons of S. Adriano in 1231and lists Guido as occupant of this deaconry from 1237 to 1240.
(4) Hierarchia Catholica indicates that, at that time, the deaconry was occupied by Cardinal Robert Somercote.
(5) Cristofori lists Vitale? and Domenico? as occupants of this deaconry in 1253?
