Résumé

The Congress of Mantua, to which Pope Pius II had summoned the European princes and peoples, began its negotiations concerning a crusade against the Turks in September 1459, in the absence of a delegation from France. The French embassy arrived in Mantua on 16 November, and on 21 November it was received by the pope in a public consistory. It was generally expected that the French would cause a major crisis at the congress by publicly criticizing and attacking the pope for his dispositions with regard to the Kingdom of Sicily: he had recognized Ferrante of the Spanish House of Aragon as king instead of King René of Anjou who claimed the kingdom as his ancestral birthright. To the surprise of everybody and the relief of the pope, the Bishop of Paris gave an oration which was quite pleasant and almost without references to the Sicilian matter which the French ambassadors requested to be discussed later. The bishop ended his oration with a declaration of obedience on behalf of his king to which the pope replied with the oration “Multa hic hodie”.
