Cardinals created by Nicholas V

Pope Nicholas V (1397-1455).

Pope Nicholas V (r. 1447–1455) created 8 new cardinals in three consistories, including former Antipope Felix V (1439–1449). He also confirmed the three promotions made by this antipope, and restored two cardinals who were created by the legitimate popes but then deposed for having supported the schism of the Council of Basle and Antipope Felix V.
