Abstract	The third of a strand on the 'Medieval Papacy, c. 500-1500'. This session looks at the papacy in the 13th-15th centuries. Paper-a analyses the construction of the crusading ideology of Nicholas V (1447-1455), focusing on the striking similarities between the worldview and perception of networks of the Renaissance pope and that of Urban II. Paper-b aims to understand how Portuguese cardinals of the 15th century constructed their networks and how these affected the relations between the Portuguese political community and the Papacy.
