Page "Pope Pius II" Paragraph 3
from
Wikipedia
Upon his return to Basel, Aeneas sided actively with the council in its conflict with the Pope, and, although still a layman, eventually obtained a share in the direction of its affairs.
He supported the creation of the Antipope Felix V ( Amadeus, Duke of Savoy ) and participated in his coronation.
Aeneas then withdrew to the court of Holy Roman Emperor Emperor Frederick III court in Vienna.
He had been crowned imperial poet laureate in 1442, and he obtained the patronage of the emperor's chancellor, Kaspar Schlick.
Some identify the love adventure at Siena that Aeneas related in his romance The Tale of the Two Lovers with an escapade of the chancellor.
