jan 1, 1378 - The Great Schism (1378)
Description:
Two popes were elected, one in the French Kingdom and the other outside in Rome. This was a massive controversy as people sided with one pope or the other and others even felt diluted wholly from the church. It may we seen that the papacy as a whole grew more worldly and corrupt after this event. (Palmer 53)Added to timeline:
