The situation in Italy turns more favorable…

The situation in Italy turns more favorable to Ladislaus in 1412: his condottiere Carlo I Malatesta occupies part of the March of Ancona, and, above all, Muzio Attendolo joins Ladislaus.

A peace is eventually signed on June 14, 1412, by which the Antipope pays seventy-five thousand florins, invests Ladislaus with the Neapolitan crown and names him as Gonfalonier of the Church.

Ladislaus promises in turn to abandon the cause of Gregory XII, who is ousted from Gaeta and moved to Rimini.

The peace, however, has been only a means to gain time for both John XXIII, who does not want to pay the seventy-five thousand florins, and Ladislaus, who fears intervention in Italy by Sigismund of Hungary.
