Answer
The popes, Martin V and Eugenius IV, were the primary targets of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini's criticism.

Piccolomini's critique also extended to the broader decline in moral standards and discipline within the Church during the 15th century, which he believed contributed to its weakened state.
