Angelo Acciaioli (Cardinal)
Angelo Acciaioli (born April 15, 1340 in Florence , † May 31, 1408 in Pisa ) was bishop and cardinal of the Roman Church .
Live and act
Angelo Acciaioli came from an old Florentine aristocratic family, some of which appear under the spellings Acciajuoli and Acciaiouli .
He entered the clergy, received the minor orders and became Canon of Patras in the Principality of Achaia , which was then a Latin archbishopric.
On December 3, 1375 he was elected Bishop of Rapolla (until 1386), and on June 3, 1383, he was also Bishop of Florence .
Pope Urban VI. raised Angelo Acciaioli in the consistory of December 17, 1384 to cardinal priest with the titular church of San Lorenzo in Damaso . In this capacity he took part in the conclave of 1389 , in which Pope Boniface IX. was elected; he himself had been one of the most promising papal candidates in the ballot. The new Pope sent him as a legate to the Kingdom of Naples to support Ladislaus of Anjou as a tutor in his claims to the throne. On 29 May 1390 he crowned him in Gaeta to King of Naples .
In the same year Acciaioli acquired the office of cathedral dean of Salisbury , in 1391 also a canonical and a preamble at the Martinsstift in Worms . In this city he was also provost of the Paulus monastery from 1400 and he also held a canon at the monastery of St. Florin in Koblenz . Between 1400 and 1408 he served as archdeacon of the cathedral chapters of Exeter and Canterbury . The bishop usually only held such church offices for a limited period of time; in most places he himself should never have been; the positions brought a certain financial gain, but it also required a laborious application and, in the absence of one, the appointment of a vicar to represent. In return, it meant a reputation for the pens if respected, foreign prelates were interested in them and they could show them on their clerical lists.
From August 29, 1397 until his death in 1408, Angelo Acciaioli officiated as Cardinal Bishop of the suburbicarian diocese of Ostia .
On June 8th 1403 he traveled again as papal legate to Hungary, where the Archbishop of Esztergom , on August 5th in Zadar , in his presence, crowned Ladislaus of Anjou as King of Hungary.
In the conclave of 1404 Cardinal Acciaioli took part in the election of Pope Innocent VII . He appointed him archpriest of St. Peter's Church and in 1405 dean of the college of cardinals . On August 29th of that year he was promoted to Vice Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church. In 1406 the prelate led the difficult conclave which Gregory XII. elected to the Pope. The pontiff entrusted him with the reform of the Roman Benedictine convent of Saint Paul Outside the Walls .
Angelo Acciaioli died on May 31, 1408 in Pisa and was buried in the local cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta . In 1409 his body was reburied in Florence in the Carthusian monastery of San Lorenzo there , which his uncle Niccolò Acciaiuoli (1310-1365) had founded. The cardinal's brother was Nerio I. Acciaiuoli , Duke of Athens († 1394).
