Abstract

The Great Western Schism (1378-1417) is said to have been the greatest crisis of the late medieval church. The proposed two sessions study, how the Roman papacy and Romans survived this crises, and what kinds of networks helped Rome to regain its authority after the French 'antipopes' had left the eternal city. This session focuses on the religious life in Rome and outside and on the networks within and beyond the Roman obedience.
