Two future popes, Nicholas V (who took his regnal name from A.) & Pius
II, served in the cardinal's household. Albergati also served as one of
the legates tothe Congress of Arras, which reconciled Philip the Good of
Burgundy & Charles VII of France. This was no small accomplishment, since
Charles had stood by during the murder of Philip's father, John the
Fearless. A. also presided at the opening of the Council of Ferrara.
