Eugene IV

(secular name,GabrielCondulmaro). Born 1383 in Venice; died Feb. 23, 1447, in Rome. Pope from 1431 to 1447.

Eugene IV carried on a bitter struggle with the Council of Basel, which sought to assert the primacy of councils over the pope. As a counter to it, he summoned his own council, the Council of Florence (1438-45). By a series of concessions, he was able to win a group of European sovereigns (including the monarchs of Spain and France) over to his side, thus isolating the appointee of Basel, Pope Felix V (later considered to be an antipope). At his council, he also succeeded in concluding the so-called Union of Florence between the Western (Catholic) and Eastern (Orthodox) churches, based on the recognition of papal supremacy. This union, however, was rejected by Byzantium and Rus’.
