Beato Enrico Scarampi (died 1440) was an Italian churchman from the prominent Scarampi family of the area of Asti, active at the time of the Western Schism.[1][2]
Born to Oddone, or Oddonino Scarampi, signore of Cortemiglia, Enrico Scarampi appears in the historical record in 1396 as Bishop of Acqui.[1] In 1406 he became Bishop of Feltre e Belluno.[2] He participated in the Conclave of 1417 that elected Cardinal Oddone Colonna to the papacy.[3] Colonna, as Pope Martin V, made him treasurer of the Camera Apostolica.[2] He was one of the fourteen members of the reform committee of the Council of Constance (1414-1418),[4] where he supported the principle of Papal supremacy over Councilarism,[2] and was also the spiritual director of the beata Margherita di Savoia-Acaia.[2]
