Editing Jean Balue (section)

====Released====
In February 1481 his departure from France was delayed by illness, for which he had already been under medical treatment at Chinon, but he arrived in Lucca at the beginning of Spring. There he waited for a commission of Cardinals to decide his fate; the commission, headed by Cardinal Olivier Carafa, did not begin its meetings until 30 January 1482.<ref>Forgeot, pp. 101-105.</ref> On 26 February 1482, Pope Sixtus reestablished Balue in all his rights and all his dignities.<ref>Forgeot, p. 107.</ref> Notwithstanding the work of the commission, Cardinal Balue received permission to enter Rome along with Cardinal della Rovere, who was returning from his mission as Legate to France.  On 31 January 1483, Pope Sixtus named Cardinal Balue suburbicarian Bishop of Albano,<ref>Eubel, II, p. 46, no. 473.</ref> making clear to all where his sympathies lay. On the same day Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere was named suburbicarian Bishop of Ostia. Della Rovere and Balue were met at the gate of Rome by nearly all the Cardinals on 3 February 1483, and shortly thereafter were received in public Consistory.<ref>Forgeot, pp. 105-106.</ref>
