Barberini, a nephew of Pope Urban VIII, who was in exile from Rome after his uncle's death, having broken publicly from the new Pope Innocent X, was appointed Bishop of Poitiers by King Louis XIV, but he was unable to obtain his bulls of institution. He was therefore only civil administrator. He participated in the Conclave of 1655 as Cardinal Camerlengo S.R.E., which elected Pope Alexander VII. He was named suburbicarian Bishop of Frascati on 11 October 1655, and on 24 October 1655 he was finally consecrated a bishop by his uncle, Cardinal Antonio Barberini, the elder. He died on 3/4 August 1671. Gallia christiana II, p. 1208.
