Urban VI, Pope (Papal States) : All Data

Urban VI was the Pope who ruled over the Papal States from 1378 to 1389. During his tenure, he faced the Western Schism, a major conflict within the Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417. This schism led to a division in the papacy, with multiple claimants to the title of Pope. Urban VI's reign was marked by intense political and religious turmoil, as he struggled to assert his authority and maintain control over the Papal States amidst the ongoing schism. While there were no specific wars during his reign, the Western Schism itself can be considered a significant conflict that shaped the political landscape of the time.
