Archbishop of Naxos edit

De Noya did not actually "serve as Archbishop". Naxos was in the hands of the Turks (or as the Catholic Church puts it in Latin: in partibus infidelium). The Archbishopric was a titular one, used to give status to members of the Papal Court. --Vicedomino (talk) 14:13, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

per the reference, Naxos (along with the islands of Andros, Paros, and Santorini) fell to the Ottoman naval commander Hayreddin Barbarossa in 1538.

Birth of de Noya edit

The article says, "Roberto de Noya was born in and ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers". De Noya was not born a Dominican. No one was or is. He was born in Apulia. -- Vicedomino (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
