Continuation of the Great Western Schism in the 1390s

Timeline

1. 1391–1394Rome · LazioBoniface IX maintained papal operations in Rome and appointed bishops, while France, Castile, and others recognized Benedict XIII in Avignon; the Christian world of Europe fell into a stalemate of dual obedience in ecclesiastical and diplomatic affairs.
2. 1394–1397Avignon · ProvenceEngland, France, and other states supported the Roman or Avignon pope based on political alliances; university theologians and diplomatic envoys repeatedly attempted to broker negotiations for both to abdicate, but neither pope would yield, and the schism deepened.
3. 1397–1400Across Europe · EuropeBy the end of the 14th century the Great Schism had lasted over twenty years; the faithful were widely confused about the legitimacy of both popes, and calls to convene a general council to resolve the crisis grew louder, creating the public and political conditions for the Council of Pisa in 1409.
