an Italian prelate, was made cardinal by Nicholas III, and afterwards chief counsellor of the papal court, while his relatives were loaded with similar honors by Nicholas IV. But Boniface VIII stripped the Colonna family of their privileges, and Giacomo retired to France. He is believed to have taken part in the conspiracy of Sciarra Colonna, in concert with Nogaret, against the pope. The dignity of cardinal was restored to him by Clement V, December 17, 1305, and the bull against the Colonnas was recalled at the intercession of Philip the Fair. Giacomo died in 1318. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
