After a few weeks Urban 6th started to show unpredictable and violent behavior. Long story short they elected a new French pope and Urban refuses to abdicate. Clement 7th takes up his papal roles in Avignon and Urban remains in Rome, this is the beginning of the Great Western Schism. The Cardinals solution to this fiasco is to elect another Pope Martin the 5th in 1415. Two ecumenical councils were held to untangle the mess created and the council of Constantine was the most
