About Council of Constance

The Council of Constance was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church that was held from 1414 to 1418 in the Bishopric of Constance (Konstanz) in present-day Germany. This was the first ecumenical council convened in the Holy Roman Empire. The council ended the Western Schism by deposing or accepting the resignation of the remaining papal claimants and by electing Pope Martin V. It was the last papal election to take place outside of Italy.

The Council of Constance only met because there was a really embarrassing church situation where there were three popes at the same time. That is a bureaucratic cock-up, isn't it? There were two from 1378 onwards, and that was a bit embarrassing.
