Leiden: Brill.</ref> Pope Urban VI, an Italian, was elected to the papacy after his death. However, his decision to move the papacy back to Rome led to the [[Western Schism]] and the rise of the Antipopes. Most of Europe supported [[Antipope Clement VII|Clement VII]] (now considered an antipope) as the true pope.<ref>Walsh, M., 2011. The Cardinals: Thirteen Centuries of the Men Behind the Papal Throne.

Subsequently, the [[Western Schism]] created by the selection of rival popes forced Europe into a dilemma of papal allegiance. This schism was not resolved fully until the [[Council of Constance]] (1414–1418).<ref>{{cite book
