| | Council of Basel |
 | | They declared the pope deposed and, to replace him, elected a layman, Amadeus VII, duke of Savoy; as antipope he took the name Felix V. Thereafter, the prestige of the Basel assembly declined, and it became increasingly involved in the political quarrels of Germany. |
 | | So they agreed, subject to the council's consent, to one of the places named below with the condition, which is detailed later, that one or more persons should be sent to the lord emperor, the patriarch and others to persuade them by cogent reasons to agree to the city of Basel. |
 | | The nominated places are these: Calabria, Ancona or another maritime territory; Bologna, Milan or another Italian city; and outside Italy, Buda in Hungary, Vienna in Austria or in the last place, Savoy. |
