Everything about Cardinal Albergati totally explained
Niccolò Albergati (
1373 -
May 9 1443) was an
Italian Cardinal and diplomat.
Born in
Bologna, he entered the
Carthusian order in 1394, at the age of twenty. A supporter of the authority of
Pope Martin V following the
Western Schism, he was appointed bishop of Bologna by the latter (1417) and made his native city a center of learning.
Albergati was employed as an ambassador by several popes; in that capacity he visited France and several of the other Italian states. Notably, he represented Pope
Eugene IV at the 1435
Congress of Arras. (The congress failed to make peace between England and France, but it did effect a reconciliation between
Philip the Good of Burgundy and the French crown.) He was made cardinal of
Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in 1426. He played a role in the
Council of Basel-Ferrara-Florence and opened the
Council of Florence, which brought about a short-lived union of the Latin and Greek Churches.
Among the young scholars who enjoyed were future important figures such as
Pope Nicholas V,
Pius II and
Francesco Filelfo. He died at Siena in 1443. Albergati was beatified on September 25, 1744.
