The answer was actually "I would assume that he had it, since he has always, without doubt, been identified as male."
If there was any ambiguity in that answer, then we have to conclude that the person we are looking for was childless.
However, I guess that the answer can also be read as unequivocal.

You're right, ha ha.
Then fine, I guess Marco Polo.
No, not Marco Polo.
Not sure how helpful it might appear, but I can add as a hint, that our subject was a clergyman, thus his Penistone was OFFICIALLY not to be used in a certain way.

Some people work hard, go to work every day, pay taxes and their mortgage, worry about parking tickets. And some just win lotteries.
Copernicus it is

Something about the time frame and the references to religion and politics made me think of a scientist who might have been controversial... not being Italian ruled out Galileo (who was the first person who popped into my head) and Copernicus was the next one I thought of.
Game 68 to start later today.
