AI overview

Gregory XII was a pope of the Catholic Church who led the Church during a turbulent period from 1406 to 1415, when there was significant conflict within Church leadership. His papacy mattered because it occurred during the Western Schism, a time when multiple people claimed to be the rightful pope, and his actions and eventual resignation helped resolve this major crisis in the Church's history.

Reigning during the Western Schism, he was opposed by the Avignon claimant Benedict XIII and the Pisan claimants Alexander V and John XXIII.
