Why did the exact self-same cardinals elect one pope in April 1378 and another one 4 months later? Who was taking the lead in attempts to resolve the crisis and why did all these attempts fail for 40 years? How far did they go in forcing the various papal contenders to come to the negotiation table. How ridiculous were the popes’ attempts to wiggle out of that…\nAll that we will look into this week in part 1 of the story of the Great Western Schism.\nThe music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.\nAs always:\nHomepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.com\nIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans Podcast\nFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • History of the Germans Podcast\nFacebook: @HOTGPod \nThreads: @history_of_the_germans_podcast\nBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.social\nInstagram: history_of_the_germans\nTwitter: @germanshistory\nTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.\nSo far I have:\nThe Ottonians\nSalian Emperors and Investiture Controversy\nFredrick Barbarossa and Early Hohenstaufen\nFrederick II Stupor Mundi\nSaxony and Eastward Expansion\nThe Hanseatic League\nThe Teutonic Knights\nThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356\nThe Reformation before the...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3tbRidYXMbaquVhoJj00jCU3E29PLIPvK3CGDbl_XNw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OTY2/ZTAwOWY2MWZlMzM3/OTg0MzBlNzI5YzY0/MzFlZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
