"Presumed cardinals"

The following other persons are also listed as cardinals created by Eugene III, but they should be excluded from that list because they were never promoted to the cardinalate or are confused with another cardinals ("presumed cardinals"):

Besides, it is often claimed that cardinals Jordan of S. Susanna, Bernardo of S. Clemente and Cinzio of SS. Sergio e Bacco were created by Eugene III, but they were all promoted by Lucius II as "cardinal-deacons of the Holy Roman Church"; Eugene III only gave them the titular churches.
