In order to avoid being made a cardinal, one member of this family, Francis, fled into the Basque hinterlands with the aid of his mentor, Ignatius of Loyola. A member of this family left the mutilated corpse of Ramiro d'Orco on display after taking control of the Romagna, an action that was memorably described as "satisfying and stupefying." Halley's Comet was apocryphally excommunicated by a pope from this family, Callixtus III.
