Antipope Nicholas V
Nicholas V. (Pietro Rainalducci), antipope in Italy
from 1328 to 1330 during the pontificate of Pope John XXII at Avignon. He was a
native of Corbara in the Abruzzi. He joined the Franciscan order after
separating from his wife in 1310, and became famous as a preacher. He was
elected through the influence of the excommunicated emperor, Louis IV the Bavarian, by an assembly of priests and laymen, and consecrated at St
Peter's in Rome on May 12, 1328 by the bishop of Venice. After spending
four months in Rome, he withdrew with Louis to Viterbo and then to Pisa,
where he was guarded by the imperial vicar. He was excommunicated by Pope John
XXII in April 1329, and sought refuge with Count Boniface of Donoratico
near Piombino. Having obtained assurance of pardon, he presented a
confession of his sins first to the archbishop of Pisa, and then (August 25, 1330) to the pope at Avignon. He remained in honourable
imprisonment in the papal palace until his death in October 1333.
