II, Italian: Pio II), born Enea Silvio Bartolomeo Piccolomini (1405 – 1464), was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 19 August 1458 to his death in 1464.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAeneas Silvius was an author, diplomat, and orator, and private secretary of Antipope Felix V and then the Emperor Frederick III, and then Pope Eugenius IV.[1] He participated in the Council of Basel, but left it in 1443 to follow Frederick, whom he reconciled to the Roman obedience. He became Bishop of Trieste in 1447, Bishop of Siena in 1450, and a cardinal in 1456.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was a Renaissance humanist with an international reputation. Aeneas Silvius' longest and most enduring work is the story of his life, the Commentaries, which was the first autobiography of a pope to have been published. It appeared posthumously, in 1584, 120 years after his death.\u003cbr\u003e======================================\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease see my other auctions \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank You\u003c\/span\u003e \r\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRefund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
