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.

What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's listed Basel's trades in 1921 as "silk ribbons, tanning, paper, aniline dyes, brewing" he dye works have become the dominant fact of the city: Ciba, Geigy and Sandoz grew out of that chemistry and, after the 1996 Ciba-Geigy/Sandoz merger, Basel is now headquarters to Novartis and Roche and one of the world's pharmaceutical capitals. The canton figure of about 225,000 has held roughly steady in the two half-cantons, but the cross-border conurbation reaching into Alsace and Baden now holds well over half a million people, served by a shared French-Swiss-German airport. The city has also become an art centre of the first rank, with Art Basel running since 1970. The historical entries need little correction: the Council of Basel (1431 1449), its deposition of Eugenius IV and its antipope Felix V, and the Peace of Basel of 1795 stand as described, and Amadeus of Savoy remains the last antipope in the Roman list.
