Eugenius IV

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Eugenius IV (1383–1447), Pope from 1431. One of his first acts was to dismiss the Council of Basle, though when it refused to dissolve he recognized it as canonical in 1433. Relations with the Council remained tense and in 1438, against the wishes of the majority, he transferred it to Ferrara and in 1439 to Florence. The continuing Council at Basle deposed him and elected an antipope in 1439, but the union of the Greek and Roman Churches which Eugenius concluded at Florence, though short-lived, increased his authority. See also FLORENCE, COUNCIL OF.
