## Bio

Pedro Martínez de Luna y Pérez de Gotor was born in 1342, an Aragonese nobleman who rose through the church to cardinal before the Catholic world split. When rival popes claimed authority from Rome and Avignon, he took the name Benedict XIII and became one side of Christianity's most stubborn fracture. The Western Schism dragged on, council after council trying to heal the wound, but el Papa Luna — Pope Luna — would not bend. Even as support crumbled and his own cardinals turned against him, he insisted he was the true successor of Peter. He died on 23 May 1423, still unreconciled, still convinced.
