Aim: How did the Great Schism and the Hundred Years War bring an end to the Middle Ages? Do Now: Complete the Unam Sanctum

reading and questions.

1303: Philip IV (King of France) sent a small army to kidnap Pope Boniface VIII and bring him to France; Pope is rescued and then dies.

1305: Philip IV persuades the College of Cardinals to elect a French Pope → Clement V

1305: Clement moves to Avignon, France → Beginning of the Babylonian Captivity

Popes leave Rome and rule from Avignon from 1305-1378

1378: After the death of a pope, Cardinals meet to choose a successor → Urban VI Italian Pope who decides that he is going to rule from Rome, not Avignon

French Cardinals are not happy with the new Pope → What do they do? (they decide to select their own French Pope)

This is the beginning of The Great Schism (1378-1417) – Two Popes rule at the same time, one from Avignon and one from Rome.

1417: Council of Constance ends the Great Schism. Both Popes are forced out, and a new Pope that everyone could agree on is put in and allowed to serve from Rome.

Result: Church has lost much of its prestige and most of its political power.
