Also called Great Schism, or Great Western Schism, in the history
of the Roman Catholic church, the period from 1378 to 1417,
when there were two, and later three, rival popes, each with his
own following, his own Sacred College of Cardinals, and his own
administrative offices.
• Shortly after the return of the papal residence to Rome following
almost 70 years in Avignon, the archbishop of Bari was
elected pope as Urban VI amid demands by the Roman
populace for “a Roman or at least an Italian.”
• Urban VI proved to be so hostile to the cardinals, who had
assumed great powers during the years at Avignon, that a group
of cardinals retired to Anagni and elected one of themselves,
Robert of Geneva, as Clement VII, claiming the election of Urban
VI had been invalid because it was made under fear.
• Clement VII then took up residence at Avignon. Although Roman
Catholic church historians generally agree that Urban VI and his
successors were the legitimate popes, there has never been an
official pronouncement to this effect.
•
• The conflicts quickly escalated from a church
problem to a diplomatic crisis that divided Europe.
Secular leaders had to choose which claimant they
would recognize:
• Avignon: France, Aragon, Castile and
León, Cyprus, Burgundy, Savoy, Naples, Scotland an
d Owain Glyndwr's rebellion in Wales recognized the
Avignon claimant;
• Rome: Denmark, England, Flanders, the Holy Roman
Empire, Hungary, Ireland (English
Dominion), Norway, Portugal, Poland (later PolandLithuania), Sweden, Republic of Venice, and other
City States of northern Italy, recognized the Roman
claimant.
