ACCIAIUOLI, ANGELO. - Cardinal, b. in Florence on 15 April 1340, d. in Pisa on 31 May 1408 or 12 June 1409. On 3 Dec. 1375 he was appointed by Gregory XIbishop of Rapolla, in the kingdom of Naples. In 1383 he was transferred by Urban VI to the archbishopric of Florence and in Dec. 1384 or in Jan. 1385 he was created cardinal of S. Lorenzo in Damaso. He defended Urban VI with his writing Apologeticus libellus contra Transalpinos Senatores de Urbani VI electione.
He was of great help to Boniface IX, by whom he was appointed vice-chancellor of the Apostolic See (1406) and archpriest of the Vatican Basilica. After having been for some time legate in the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily, he was appointed tutor together with Margaret of Durazzo to the king governing the kingdom during the minority of Ladislaus of Durazzo, whom he himself later crowned king in 1390. Numerous and difficult legations were entrusted to him. He upheld Ladislaus's rights to the throne of Hungary and assisted at his coronation, which took place at Zara in 1403. Having returned to Rome, he pacified the Orsini, who had rebelled against the Pontiff. From Innocent VII he received the task of reforming the monastery of S. Paolo fuori le Mura. He assisted at the election of Gregory XII, but subsequently took part in the Council of Pisa. In the 16th century his body was transported from Pisa to the Certosa of Florence.
