On his refusal to comthis demand the Council deguilty of contumacy, and, afhad opened a counter synod , decreed his suspension from the papal chair (Jan. 24, 1438). The removal of Eugenius, however, seemed so impracticable, that some prelates, including the Cardinal Legate Juliano, left Basel, and went over to the party of Eugenius. The Archbishop of Arles, Cardinal Louis Allemand, was now made First President of the Council. In May, 1439 it , declared Eugenius heretic and formally deposed him. Excommunicated by Eugenius, they elected the Duke Amadeus of Savoy to the papal chair. Felix V.-the name he adopted-was acknowledged by only a few princes, cities, and universities. After this the moral power of the Council declined; it was dissolved May 7, 1449, when it gave in its adhesion to Nicholas V., the successor of Eugenius. The decrees of the Council of Basel are admitted into none of the Roman collections. They are regarded traed , however, as of authority in points of canon law in France and Germany, as their regulations for the reformation of the Church have been adopted in the pragmatic sanctions of both countries.
