Sessio I. on the 5th of November, 1511, all the papal decrees against the council
are declai-ed of no effect. Sess. III. on the I2th of November, the deci-ees of
the Council of Constance concerning genei-al councils (see § 130, note 8), are
renewed, and it was then resolved absque ulla sui dissolutione to remove to
Milan. An attempt was made to concert a council with the Pope : but their
ambassadors not even being admitted to audience, a sentence of suspension was
passed on him, Sess. Vlll. on the 21st of April, 1512, accompanied by the
declaration, ipsam papalem administrationem, pi'opter gubernationis defectum, ne
Ecclesia discrimen aliquod patiatur, ad ipsam sacrosanctam Synodum fuisse, esse
et fore ipso jure devolutam. This, however, was the last session : soon after this,
the fathers who composed the council were, most of them, scattered, for fear
of the Swiss : an insignificant remnant removed to Asti, and soon after to Lyons.
In Pisa as well as in Milan, the council was considered wrong, and the inter-
dict was observed, Guicciardini, lib. X. The council was defended by Philippus
Decius, Canonist in Pisa, then in Pavia, Consilium pro Ecclesia; aucloritate supra
Papani and Apologia sacri Pisani Concilii modern! (both in Richer, lib. IV. P. I.
c. 2), and Zacharias Ferrerius Vicentinus Abb. Subastensis (see Raynald, 1513,
no. 51) : against it Thomas de Vio Cajetanus de potestate Papas supra Concilium,
Franciscus Poggius and Angelus Anachoreta Vallumbrosanus (see Raynald, 1511,
no. 31, and Mansi ad h. 1.). To the time of this council belongs the gold medal
of Lewis, with the inscription : Perdam Babilonis nomen (see Le Blanc traite
hist, des monnoyes de France ad p. 263, N. 3, Tab. 46), which Harduin (Supple-
ment du Journ. des Sijavans Janv. 1707. p. 194) attempts to refer to Cairo : see

*^ During Julius' last sickness, 1511, the emperor seems to have conceived the
idea of becoming his successor, cf. ejus epist. ad Baroneni Paulum a Lichtenstein
dd. 16 Sept. 1511 (in the Lettres du Roy Louis XII. T. III. p. 324 seq.) : nihil
nobis honorabilius, nihil gloriosius, nihil melius obtingere posse, quam si praefa-
tum Pontificatum, ad nos proprie pertinentem, Imperio nostro recuperaremus.
He commissioned the bishop of Gurk to negotiate with the Pope to appoint him
his coadjutor, and furnished him with money to bribe the cardinals; also to his
daughter Margaret, queen of the Netlierlands, he writes dd. 18 Sept. (probably
1511) (Lettres T. IV. p. 1 seq.), de avoir le Papat et devenir Prester et apres estre
Saint, et que yl vous sera de necessite, que apres ma mort vous seres contraint
de me adorer, dont je me trouvere bien gloryoes. See E. S. Cyprianus de
Maximiliano I. Imper. Pontificatum maximum affectante in his Dissertationes
varii argumenti. Coburg. 1755. Through the agency of Ferdinand the Catholic,
he was drawn over to the League, April, 1512 (Ranke Gesch. der roman. u
german. Bolker. Bd. 1, S. 371 f.) : at the third Session of the Council of the Lateran,
December 3, 1512, Matthew Lang, bishop of Gurk, appeared in the name of the
emperor formally to join the council (Paris de Grassis in Raynald, 1512, no. 92,
the document in Labbei et Cossartii Concil. T. XIV. p. 80 seq.).

well as the Pragmatic Sanction, and France.^^ On the succession of
Leo X., the relations with France became at once more pacific, and
Louis XII. even sent deputies to the Council of the Lateran ; ^^ still
the dithculties were not all settled, when the young king Francis I.
advanced into Italy (1515).!'^ Leo, however, had the address to
convert the threatened defeat into a victory by making peace at
once with Francis, i~ and in a personal interview at Bologna (Dec.
1515) prevailing upon him, by the assistance of the chancellor of
France, du Prat, to abolish the Pragmatic Sanction ; in place of
which a concordat was agreed upon between them, placing the eccle-
siastical affairs of France mostly on the old footing. ^^ The Council

'^ The council was opened on the 10th of May, 1512. Sess. II. on the 17th
of September, the Council of Pisa was condemned, ConciUabuli Pisani (Lahheus et
Cossart XIV. p. 63). Sess. III. December 3, (1. c. p. 82 seq.) a papal ordinance
of August 13 was renewed, in which regnum Francis;, et proesertim Lugdunum,

Lugduni fieri solitas in Lugduno extunc de cetero fieri inhibuimus, dictasque
nundinas in civitate Gebennensi (Geneva) faciendas transtuliinus. Sess. IV. De-
cember 10 (1. c. p. 97 seq.) the attack upon the Pragmatic Sanction began,
First the letter of Louis XI. was read, in which he promises to annul it (see
§ 132, note 3.5), then a Monitorium contra Praginaticam et ejus assei-tores :
Dudum displicenter per nos pluries accepto, per niulta temporum spatia per
