*
Florence has, from time to time, been ruled by a Prince who was also
a Cardinal-Deacon.
This is
similar to Henry, Cardinal King of Portugal who ruled from 1578 to 1580,
and
Henry Cardinal Stuart, a claimant to the British throne.
The
titular principality of Florence is now vested in the Patriarchate of
St. Stephen.
