TRADCATKNIGHT: Pope Benedict XIII: The responsibilities of leadership are heavy Born 2 February, 1649; died 23 February, 1730. Being a son of Ferdinando Orsini and Giovanna Frangipani of Tolpha, he belonged to the archducal family of Orsini-Gravina. From early youth he exhibited a decided liking for the Order of St. Dominic, and at the age of sixteen during a visit to Venice he entered the Dominican novitiate against the will of his parents, though he was the eldest son and heir to the title and estates of his childless uncle the Duke of Bracciano. tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2018/02/pope-benedict-xiii-responsibilities-of.html#more
