 Cardinal Francesco Adiosi may have become cardinal protector , but this appointment " cannot be exactly established " as his only surviving letters to England do not mention the protectorate . Adiosi is explicitly mentioned as protector in a 1509 letter from Christopher Bainbridge ( the first English curial cardinal since the death of Adam Easton in 1397 ) , by which point Adiosi and go @-@ between Girolamo Bonvisio were on the " brink of disgrace " .
