## Bio

Bartolomeo Prignano was born around 1318 and rose through the Church without the cardinal's hat that had become the standard credential for the papacy. Elected on 8 April 1378 as Urban VI, his pontificate came just as the papacy returned from its long Avignon exile. Almost immediately, conflict erupted: a rival faction elected Clement VII, who set up in Avignon, and Europe split down the middle. France, Castile, Aragon, and Scotland recognized Clement; much of the rest held to Urban. The Western Schism had begun, and it would outlast both men. Urban VI died in October 1389, twelve years into a fracture he couldn't heal.
