Baron Carl Nils Daniel de Bildt, Christine de Suède et le Conclave de Clément X (1669-1670) (Paris: Plon 1906), pp. 210-211, points out that Vidoni had been the original candidate favored by Spain, but when the Spanish Royal Council met on March 29, and learned from dispatches that Vidoni's candidacy had failed, they blamed Cardinal Chigi and their Ambassador in Rome, Astorga.
