The council which, according to the arrangement just referred to, met at Pavia, and afterwards at Siena, in the year 1423, separated on the 8th of 62 PRELUDES TO THE REFORMATION. March, 1424, Laving made scarcely any proposals on the subject. The one which, seven years afterwards, Martin V. Summoned to meet at Basle just before his death, seemed more determined than its two prede- cessors to prosecute vigorously the work of reforma- tion. A French and a Spanish bishop were at first proposed as ...his successor; but by one of those acci- dents which often determine papal elections, the choice fell on Gabriel Condolmieri, Cardinal of St. Clement, the most insignificant member of the sacred body, who assumed the name of Eugenius IV. He was narrow-minded, obstinate, hostile to all deviations from the doctrines of the Church, and entertained a lofty idea of the power and prerogatives of the Papacy. The council assembled at Basle on December 18, 1431. Eugenius, seeing that its members, urged on by their respective sovereigns, were determined to persevere, sought reconciliation with it, and rescinded on the 15th of December, 1433, the bulls which, on the most frivolous pretexts, he had published for its dissolution.
