  4. The Great Schism • In 1300, King Phillip IV went against the power of Pope Boniface and created his own pope in the French city of Avignon • Of course each pope declared the other one false and this resulted in a spilt or schism in the Church • It ended in 1417 with the Holy Roman Emperor and his council making them resign and selecting a new single pope.
