Question

During this conflict, Irish and Capuan (“CAP-yoo-an”) priories supported Riccardo Caracciolo’s (“kar-uh-CHO-loh’s”) campaign against Juan Fernández de Heredia (“ay-RAYD-yuh”), who translated Thucydides (“thew-SID-uh-dees”) for a leader who funded his “way of force” with annates (“ANN-nates”). The Subtraction of Obedience sought to end this conflict by the via cessionis. (-5[1])During this conflict, Owain Glyndŵr (“OH-wyne glin-DOOR”) offered to switch sides in the Pennal Letter, and the author of the Dialogue of Divine Providence (-5[1])beseeched Joanna I (-5[1])of Naples to do the same. Pierre d’Ailly (“dah-YEE”) and Jean Gerson (“zhawn zhair-SON”) promoted a conciliar resolution to this conflict, which began when 13 (-5[1])rebels staged an election in Fondi (“FOHN-dee”) with regalia stolen by a camerlengo. (-5[1])During this conflict, Florence’s indemnity from the War of the (-5[1])Eight Saints funded (-5[1])Urban VI after the so-called “Babylonian captivity.” For 10 points, (-5[1])the Council of Pisa elected a third claimant during what conflict between Rome and Avignon’s (10[1])(“ah-veen-YON’s”) popes?

ANSWER: Western Schism [or Occidental Schism, Papal Schism of 1378, Schism in the Catholic Church; double-headed papacy, Magnum schisma occidentale, or Ecclesiae occidentalis schisma; accept Second Great Schism; prompt on schism or schisma; prompt on Avignon papacy until “Avignon’s” is read; reject “Great Schism” or “East–West Schism”] (Caracciolo was the “anti-Master” of the Hospitallers. The first line refers to Antipope Clement VII. Catherine of Siena wrote the Dialogue.)
