 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Felix V
Amadeus had exercised over his dependencies a mild and equitable sway, and had evinced a great zeal for the interests of the Church, especially in connection with the Western Schism regarding the papal succession, brought to a close by the Council of Constance.
Amadeus had been in close relations with the schismatic council of Basle; and was elected pope, 30 October, 1439, by the electoral college of that council, including one cardinal (d'Allamand of Aries), eleven bishops, seven abbots, five theologians, and nine canonists.
Subsequently, Amadeus took up his residence in Savoy and Switzerland; his efforts to surround himself with a curia met with little success; many of those whom he named cardinals declined the dignity.

In 1366 the Pope proclaimed a crusade to expel the lurks from the Balkans, but the only ruler to respond was the captive Byzantine emperor's cousin Duke Amadeus VI of Savoy, who took his fleet through the Aegean to the Dardanelles.
