 In 1514 , Gigli ( as the agent of Wolsey and Henry VIII ) arranged for another cardinal @-@ nephew Giulio de 'Medici ( future Pope Clement VII ) to be cardinal protector of England . Medici 's letter of appointment makes no reference to Sisto della Rovere . A 8 February 1514 letter from Pope Leo X to Henry VIII of England flatters the king for having elevated the pope 's cardinal @-@ nephew and cousin as protector . The pope 's brother Giuliano de ' Medici was also made a Knight of the Garter ( just as Guidobaldo II della Rovere had been made when della Rovere had been made protector ) .
