Romanus Pontifex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (376 words) |
 | The Romanus Pontifex is a papal bull written January 5, 1455 by Pope Nicholas V to Alfonso V of Portugal. |
| As a follow-up to the Dum diversas, it extended to the Catholic nations of Europe dominion over discovered lands during the Age of Discovery. |
| Together, the Dum Diversas, the Romanus Pontifex and the Inter Caetera came to serve as the basis and justification for the Doctrine of Discovery, the global slave-trade of the 15th and 16th centuries, and the Age of Imperialism. |
