1437 CE

The pope and the council have been unable to agree on the negotiations and discussions that have followed in Basel, and the council has gradually lost prestige.

The council has proposed several antipapal measures, and in late 1437 Eugenius, increasingly suspicious of the Council’s designs, orders the transfer of the the council to Ferrara, Italy, in order to consider reunion with the Greeks, who prefer negotiating with the Pope and wish to meet in Italy.

Many of the bishops at Basel accept the move to Ferrara, but several remain at Basel as a rump council.
