- Abstract
This study is concerned with the personal matters of Pope Gregory XII. It presents the pope as a member of his family, the genealogy of which, from the grandfather down to nieces and nephews, can be reconstructed from a rich set of archival materials. Filippo Correr was probably the elder of the brothers. Their co-operation helped their advancement in their respective fields. Angelo entrusted the administration oft he revenues of his benefices to Filippo and his sons. As pope, he leveraged the support of his nephews, who were present at the Curia in considerable number. He elevated the nephew closest to him, Antonio Correr, to the rank of cardinal. Another of his nephews was Gabriele Condulmer (Eugene IV). When the Republic of Venice changed sides, denying obedience to Gregory XII, the family connections became difficult. For instance, Filippo’s last will that is published as an appendix mentions some of the benefices he had administrated, but without disclosing their holder’s name.
