Orations of Enea Silvio Piccolomini / Pope Pius II; 61
Résumé
After the Congress of Mantua, Pius II stayed for most of 1460 in Siena and only arrived back in Rome in the beginning of October. His return put an end to a dangerous uprising of the youth of Rome, allied with the condottiero Jacopo Piccinino fighting for the Angevins, who were trying to wrest the Kingdom of Naples from the Aragonese. He was received cordially enough by the population, but still felt it necessary to summon its representatives and explain to them why he supported King Ferrante of Naples in his war against the Angevins, thus causing Picinnino and the Roman barons to devastate the region around Rome. His defense took the form of an oration, the “Ingentes vobis gratias.”
