Pope Pius V (1504-1572), a humble Dominican monk from Italy, led the Roman Catholic Church during a pivotal time in European history. Known for his deep devotion to the Virgin Mary, as depicted in the iconic painting "St. Peter and St. Paul and Pius V Adoring Mary" (1723), he issued the papal bull "Regnans in Excelsis" against Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1570. This historic decree marked the beginning of the Anglo-Spanish War. In 1571, Pius V called for a Holy League against the Ottoman Turks, which culminated in the Battle of Lepanto, a significant victory for Christendom. His audience with Cosimo I, Duke of Tuscany, in 1575-99, further solidified his political alliances. Pius V's legacy extends beyond his papacy, as he is also remembered for promoting the use of the Rosary, as seen in the 17th-century painting "Saint Dominic Giving the Rosary to Pope Pius V. " This profile of Pope Pius V, created by Philippe de Soye and Antonio Lafreri in 1566, showcases the revered leader's pious and determined spirit.
