The Pamphili (often with the final ''long i'' orthography, Pamphilj) are one of the papal families deeply entrenched in Roman Catholic Church, Roman and Italian politics of the 16th and 17th centuries.〔(The Telegraph - Who will inherit the Doria Pamphilj family's legacy? )〕 Later, the Pamphili family line merged with the Doria and ''Landi'' family lines to form the Doria-Pamphili-Landi family line. ==Family history== The Pamphili surname originated in Gubbio and went to Rome under the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–1492). The peak of Pamphili power came with the election of Giovanni Battista Pamphili as Pope Innocent X, who reigned from 1644–1655. Like the reign of his predecessor Pope Urban VIII (of the equally papal Barberini family) Innocent X's rule was littered with examples of nepotism and other Pamphili family members did exceptionally well from the Innocent X papacy. Following family members were created cardinals: *Camillo Pamphili (1644), his nephew and son of Olimpia Maidalchini, the Pope's sister-in-law and close adviser. He later renounced his cardinalate to marry Olimpia Aldobrandini, widow of Paolo Borghese *Francesco Maidalchini (1647), nephew of Olimpia Maidalchini. *Camillo Astalli (1650 as ''Camillo Astalli-Pamphili'') a cousin of Olimpia Maidalchini whom the Pope had adopted as a Cardinal-Nephew. He was later deprived of this title for disloyalty to Innocent X *Benedetto Pamphili, son of Camillo Pamphili and Olimpia Aldobrandini, created cardinal by Innocent XI in 1681. Like other Italian noble families, the Pamphili bought property (palazzo or "palaces" and other estates) and created self-styled principalities. Family members regularly had regal titles bestowed upon them by family patriarchs or matriarchs. Olimpia Maidalchini, received the honorific title of ''Princess of San Martino'', effectively turning the small enclave of San Martino into a principality in its own right. After he left the cardinalate to marry, Camillo Pamphili was given the titles ''Prince of San Martino'' and ''Prince of Valmontone'' (he bought the Valmontone ''comune'' in 1634 from the Barberini family). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pamphili family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
