Francis Aidan Gasquet, O.S.B. (5 October 1846 – 5 April 1929 in Rome) was an English Benedictine monk and historical scholar.[1] He was created Cardinal in 1914. His historical work has been attacked by later writers. Eamon Duffy said in an interview, "Cardinal Francis Aidan Gasquet, a great Benedictine historian, was both a bad workman and not entirely scrupulous about what he said. So you can be a churchman and a lousy historian."
