Antipope Felix V served during a significant period of the Catholic Church's history. Elected in 1439 during the Council of Basel, his reign was marked by a dispute over papal authority and legitimacy. He sought to unify Christendom and gained support from various factions discontented with the papacy of Eugenius IV. His antipope status lasted until 1449, when he abdicated in favor of Eugenius IV, later being accepted back into the Church. Felix V's election and tenure highlight the complexities of the papal schism and the political maneuvering of the time.
