The Papal Schism Explained (Western Schism) - Kingdom Come Deliverance History

The Papal Schism or Western Schism was a rift in the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages during which there were two Papacies existing simultaneously, one in Rome and the other in Avignon, France. It began in 1378, the year after Pope Gregory XI brought the Papal Court back to Rome from Avignon, where it had resided for almost 70 years due to hostilities between the Roman Papacy and the Kingdom of France. When Gregory died, the Neapolitan Bartolomeo Prignano was elected Pope with the name Urban VI (1378-1389). He, however, quarrelled with the very College of Cardinals that had elected him. They therefore declared his election void and elected a new, second Pontiff, Pope Clement VII 1378-1404), who re-established the Papal Court in Avignon and was recognized by Scotland, Castile, Aragon, Navarre and Portugal.
Siding with Pope Urban VI in Rome were Italy, Germany, Bohemia, England and Ireland, Flanders, Poland and Hungary.
The Schism continued even after the death of the original rival Popes with the election of Boniface IX in Rome (1389-1404) and Benedict XIII in Avignon (1394-1423). The Popes in Avignon were called Antipopes. At this time European efforts to restore the unity of the Roman Catholic Church were growing. Unfortunately, neither the Council nor the Popes themselves were able to reconcile, as neither side was willing to budge from their demands.
In 1409 the dispute escalated to the point that the Cardinals declared both Popes invalid and elected a third, the Antipope John XXIII (1410-1415). None of the Popes submitted to being dethroned, however. The conflict embroiled the rulers of the various countries involved, among others Sigismund of Luxembourg, who took the side of John XXIII.
The Council of Constance was convened on November 5th, 1414 to resolve the issue. The Council secured the resignations of Antipope John XXIII and the Roman Pope Gregory XII, and in 1417 elected a new Pope, Martin V (1417-1431), based in Rome. This essentially brought an end to the Schism, although there were subsequently two more Antipopes who continued to be supported by a minority, Benedict XIV and Clement VIII, who resigned in 1429, leaving Martin V once again the sole Pontiff.

I remember playing a game of medieval II Total War where the Papal States somehow grew into a gigantic Empire lead by Pope Innocent the corrupt who had the full command ability full dread and 0 piety.
There's something about medieval games that makes them break down if you play them for too long, don't even get me started on Crusader Kings. (talking about that game is the only context where it would be acceptable to say something like "my wife is mad at me because I had an affair with our mom"
I meant for that to be a joke but now I just feel like throwing up

[@ParryThis]

Lol, whenever i play crusader kings, it always gets super messed up like that.

[@HenryKobyla1407]

I remember this being referenced in the beginning of kingdom come deliverance. I'm suprised it didnt play a bigger part in the game.

[@ParryThis]

It gets mentioned several times. It comes up again talking to father Godwin, i believe.

[@stargatefan10]

These are really good history videos. So more.

[@ParryThis]

Glad you like them!

[@elliottprats1910]

Your map of the anti-Pope supporter is missing southern Italy (Kingdom of Naples) supported Clement (Joan I was excommunicated by Urban).

[@ParryThis]

Yeah, i left out a few areas to keep it simple, only focussing on the biggest players.

[@E.C.2]

This is excellent,thank you!!!!
We've been in Schism since 1965.

[@karolkos5915]

Oh really? Who is the antipope and who is theactual pope?

[@tigerboy1966]

11:04. That's the wrong Clement VIII. The pic is of Ippolito Aldobrandini who was Pope 200 years later.

[@AlbertvsMagnvs]

[@lemons2lemonade884]

Thank you for this!!! Because they were too many layers to this onion to peel by myself. You have broken it down and now I understand it a little better. One thing is for sure a house divided against itself cannot stand!!

[@zinagharakhani5465]

the beginning is quite misleading: Avignon may be in France now but it was a territory of the Kingdom of Naples back then and was bought by the papacy from Naples in the middle of the century. Additionally, only one of the Avignon popes had ties to the French monarchy; one of the Avignon popes was in fact British. Juts throwing that out there. But nice video over all

[@carinasmirnoff1780]

This was very interesting, and very useful for historical perspective.

[@ParryThis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Here's a religious perspective on the great western schism.

Benedict XIII sounds cool! He's like: "I'm the pope, and I'm never going to relinquish that title!"

[@itsmemelj8090]

What do you mean about the unbroken line of succession until 2019, is the succession has been broken in 2019?

[@ParryThis]

that's just when i wrote the paper that this video is based on.
