Descrizione

Medieval studies have analyzed the recruitment of cardinals between the 12th and 13th centuries, also thanks to prosopographic works focusing on their biographical profiles. Unfortunately, little space was devoted to a particular phenomenon, which can be defined as an “internal promotion”, whereby a cardinal moves from one title to another. This almost always occurred in an ascending fashion (i.e. from a lower to a higher cardinal title), even if there were passages between titles of the same level. The lack of documentation has likely discouraged further study on this topic, especially as to why these movements took place, inasmuch as they could be related the economic and symbolic differences among different titles. The purpose of our article is to focus on the available sources whilst providing a first survey on a seldom debated topic.
