    Summary

    "Amadeus VIII, Duke of Savoy founded the Order of Saint Maurice with six other knights in 1434. They lived alone in the castle of Ripaille, near Geneva, in a quasi-monastic state according to a rule drawn up by himself... The Council itself then issued a decree on 17 November 1439, stating that Amadeus had been elected pope and giving the full details of the election. A delegation, which included the secretary and notary Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, was sent to Ripaille, the residence of Amadeus. It arrived on 15 December 1439, and, after long negotiations, Amadeus acquiesced in his election on 5 February 1440..." (wikipedia)
