Line 22: The '''Council of Florence''' is the seventeenth [[ecumenical council]] recognized by the [[Catholic Church]], held between 1431 and 1449. It was convoked as the '''Council of Basel''' by [[Pope Martin V]] shortly before his death in February 1431 and took place in the context of the [[Hussite Wars]] in Bohemia and the [[rise of the Ottoman Empire]]. At stake was the greater conflict between the [[conciliar movement]] and the principle of [[papal supremacy]]. The Council entered a second phase after [[Emperor Sigismund]]'s death in 1437. [[Pope Eugene IV]] ~~convoked~~translated athe ~~rival~~council to Ferrara on 8 January 1438, where it became the '''Council of [[Ferrara]]''' ~~on 8 January 1438~~ and succeeded in drawing some of the [[Byzantine]] ambassadors who were in attendance at Basel to Italy. ~~The~~Some ~~remaining~~Council members ofrejected the ~~Council~~papal ofdecree and remained at Basel: ~~first~~this rump Council suspended ~~him~~Eugene, declared him a [[heretic]], and then in November 1439 elected an [[antipope]], [[Felix V]]. After becoming the '''Council of Florence''' (having moved to avoid [[bubonic plague\|the plague]] in Ferrara), the Council concluded in 1445 after negotiating [[Eastern Catholic Churches\|unions]] with the various [[Eastern Christianity\|eastern churches]]. This bridging of the [[East–West Schism\|Great Schism]] proved fleeting, but was a political coup for the papacy. In 1447, Sigismund's successor [[Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor\|Frederick III]] commanded the city of [[Basel]] to expel the Council of Basel; the [[rump organization\|rump]] Council reconvened in [[Lausanne]] before dissolving itself in 1449.
