He was made cardinal on the 7 May 1473 by Pope Sixtus IV. He was then archbishop of Monreale in Sicily.

He became archbishop of Zaragoza in Spain in 1475,[2][3] but was stripped of the post in 1478 because of his disagreements with King John II of Aragon. He was also bishop of Capaccio, a suffragan of the archbishop of Salerno, from 1476 to 1483.
