Cesarini, Giuliano, 1398-1444
Giuliano Cesarini was an Italian jurist, diplomat, and cardinal. Established in a career teaching law in Perugia, he relocated to Rome upon the election of Pope Martin V (1369-1431) to participate in the recovery and anticipated reforms following the Western Schism (1378-1417). His close association with Cardinal Branda da Castiglione (1350-1443) led him to Germany amid the Hussite rebellion and later to England as a papal envoy. He was made a Cardinal by Martin V in 1426, with a further mission to Germany in search of support for a crusade against the Hussites and an appointment as President of the Council of Basel, which was called upon to address this matter as well as the Ottoman threat and the prospect of an East-West reunion of the Church. Thereafter, he was papal legate to Hungary and became a confidant of King Władysław Of Poland (1424-1444), whom he served as ambassador to the court of Emperor Frederick III (1415-1493) in Vienna. A proponent of crusade, he became embroiled in negotiations and conflict between Hungary and the Ottomans. In 1444, he was killed while retreating from the Battle of Varna, which saw a defeat of a Papal army by the Ottoman army.
