Pope of the Catholic Church from 1404 to 1406
He held the keys during Catholicism's split-screen nightmare — two men claiming Peter's throne, Europe picking sides — and spent his two-year papacy mostly trapped in Rome's chaos, unable or unwilling to stitch the church back together.
Cosimo de' Migliorati became Pope Innocent VII in October 1404, stepping into the wreckage of the Western Schism: since 1378 rival popes had ruled from Rome and Avignon, each insisting on legitimacy. He faced Benedict XIII in France and the machinations of King Ladislaus of Naples closer to home. Whatever his intentions, the troubled streets of Rome and his own doubts about Benedict's honesty kept him from bridging the divide. Two years later, in November 1406, he died with the schism unresolved and another decade of fracture ahead.
