As Archbishop of Milan and a leading member of the Council of Trent, he played a pivotal role in the revival of the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century. This book provides an engaging and informative introduction to the life and work of this remarkable figure, tracing his career from his birth into a noble family in 1538 to his death in 1584. This is an essential read for students of the history of the Catholic Church and early modern Europe.
