George Conn (priest)

George Conn (Latin: Conæus; died 1640) was a Scottish Roman Catholic priest, a Franciscan and papal diplomat in England.

[1] Conn went to Rome in the summer of 1623, to work in the household of Cardinal Alessandro Peretti di Montalto, who left him a legacy on his death at the end of the year.

[1][2] Conn filled the place of papal agent at the court of Queen Henrietta Maria, vacated because of Gregorio Panzani's return to Italy.

His death took place at Rome, according to the monument erected to his memory in the church of St. Lawrence in Damaso by Cardinal Barberini, on 10 January 1640 (N.S.).

[1] In 1628 he wrote Georgii Conaei de dvplici statv religionis apvd Scotos libri duo; it was published in Rome by the Vatican Press.
