Anti-pope Nicholas V from May 12, 1328 to July 25, 1330. Born in Corvaro, Abruzzi, Italy; died in Avignon, France on October 16, 1333. When Louis the Bavarian came to Rome seeking to uphold the theory that the Emperor and the Church at large were superior to the pope, he placed in the See, in opposition to Pope John XXII, Rainalducci, the Franciscan Spiritual. The latter, supported also by the Ghibellines, appointed six cardinals and undertook to govern the Church. When Louis left Rome the anti-pope's adherents abandoned him. He submitted to John at Avignon, and accepted confinement there until his death.
