Date of death
editThe date of death given in the article was 6 November 1661, leaving a twenty-seven month long Sede vacante. The only source (and the one used by this article) for the date is David M. Cheney's self-published web page on Piccolomini. Cheney cites Gauchat, who is also cited in the article for the fact, but Gauchat does not give the date of death. The date, therefore, is unreferenced. Other sources give the death as c. July 1663, e.g. Ughelli III, p. 654, Cappelletti XVII, p. 603, and Gams, p. 754 column 1. I intend to follow the published authors and change the date of death.
