Report of Enea Silvio Piccolomini to Emperor Friedrich III on a mission to Pope Calixtus III (Summer 1455). Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. Preliminary draft version. (Five reports of Enea Silvio Piccolomini; 5)

Résumé

In April 1455, Cardinal Alfonso de Borja was elected pope. Soon afterwards the embassies from the the Christian princes and city states began to arrive in Rome to make the traditional declaration of obedience to the new pope. In August, the embassy of Emperor Friedrich III arrived, consisting of Bishop Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Bishop of Trieste and imperial counsellor and top diplomat, and Johann Hinderbach, another imperial official. Their mission was both to declare the emperor’s obedience and to negotiate a number of issues. One of these issues concerned the payment of a debt owed by the papacy to the emperor. Others were problems connect with appointments to ecclesiastical offices and payment of annates. The pope refused to negotiate these issues before the declaration of obedience had been made, and afterwards mostly declined to grant the imperial petitions. In this area, the embassy was not very successful, as Piccolomini had to inform the emperor in his report on the mission.
