{"title":"Adam Easton and the Great Schism","authors":"P. Zutshi","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv1931h7j.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv1931h7j.7","url":null,"abstract":"Adam Easton, a monk of Norwich cathedral priory and a doctor of theology\u0000 of Oxford University, accompanied Simon Langham to the papal Curia in\u0000 1369 after Langham had been elevated to the cardinalate. Easton remained\u0000 at the Curia and in 1378 witnessed the turbulent election of Urban VI\u0000 in Rome, which led to the Great Schism of the western Church. In 1379\u0000 Easton’s testimony concerning the circumstances of this election was\u0000 solicited twice. Following his promotion to the cardinalate by Urban in\u0000 1381, Easton became involved in a conspiracy involving five other cardinals\u0000 against the pope. He was the only cardinal to survive and to be reinstated.\u0000 These two episodes form the main subjects of the chapter. An appendix\u0000 prints Easton’s first testimony along with marginal comments deriving\u0000 from adherents of Urban’s rival as pope, Clement VII of Avignon, that seek\u0000 to undermine it. The text illustrates the nature of contemporary debate\u0000 concerning the validity of the election of Urban VI and the legitimacy of\u0000 the respective claimants to the papacy.","PeriodicalId":341238,"journal":{"name":"Cardinal Adam Easton (c.1330–1397)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123220980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
