History Of The Papacy From The Great Schism To The Sack Of Rome, Volume II

History of the Papacy from the Great Schism to the Sack of Rome, Volume II

by Mandell Creighton

Mandell Creighton's *History of the Papacy* Volume II delves into the tumultuous period following the Great Schism. It explores the Council of Constance, the condemnation of Jan Hus, the rise and fall of Antipopes, and the ongoing efforts to reform the Church. The narrative highlights the political machinations of the papacy, the struggle against heresy, and the attempted union of the Eastern and Western churches. The volume concludes with the Council of Florence, where Pope Eugenius IV seeks to solidify the Papacy's authority and secure military aid for the Byzantine Empire against the encroaching Ottoman Turks.
