Birth. 1410, Chiari, diocese of Brescia (1). Of a noble family. He moved with his parents to Verona. His last name is also listed as Rangone de Verona and Rangoni. He was called the Cardinal of Eger.
1) This is according to Moroni, Dizionario di erudizione storico-ecclesiastica da S. Pietro sino ai nostri giorni, LVI, 163 Cardella, Memorie storiche de' cardinali della Santa Romana Chiesa, III. 206; and his biography in English, linked above, which adds that he moved to Verona with his parents; Chacón, Alfonso. Vitæ, et res gestæ Pontificvm Romanorum et S. R. E. Cardinalivm, II, col. 1261, says that he was born in Modena; Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recientoris Aevi, II, 18; and his biography in Hungarian, linked above, indicate that he was born in Verona.
(2) His genealogy, linked above, says that he was an illegitimate child and that his mother was a peasant from Verona; "Essai de liste générale des cardinaux. VII. Les cardinaux de la fin du XVe siècle". Annuaire Pontifical Catholique 1933, p. 154, says that he was of a noble family; Cardella, Memorie storiche de' cardinali della Santa Romana Chiesa, III, 206, indicates that he was born of honest parents who were not vile but not very wealthy and denies that his mother was a peasant from Verona but a woman from the family Flgliati, one of the most important of Chiari; Moroni, Dizionario di erudizione storico-ecclesiastica da S. Pietro sino ai nostri giorni, LVI, 163, repeats Cardella's information.
