To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eugenius had ap- pointed his nephew Cardinal Francesco Condolmieri as his legate at Avignon, but the people of that city resolutely refused to admit him. This unpopular appointment having led to tumults and bloodshed, the council, at the prayer of the city of Avignon, appointed a legate of its own, the Spanish Cardinal Carillas, of which act, as of an unheard of usurpa- tion of the papal rights, Eugenius complained in a letter of bitter remonstrance. The appointment of the new legate, who belon...ged to the creation and obedience (as it was called) of Benedict XIII. , recalled the memories of the great schism of the west, and was a bold defiance of Eugenius in a principality which had hitherto belonged as exclu- sively to the see of Rome as any of its Italian legations, and might well be regarded as the most ominous of the indications of an approaching con- vulsion. THE COUNCIL OF BASLE. 215 The eighth session of the council was little calcu- lated to allay the apprehensions of the court of Rome, for the formal proceedings which had already been opened against Eugenius, began therein to assume a judicial aspect ; a term of sixty days being accorded him for withdrawing the bulls of dissolution which formed the ground of his citation.
