Pope Urban VI
Upon the death of the aged Pope Gregory XI in 1377, Pope Urban VI was elected by the College of Cardinals in a rush. By August the cardinals suddenly informed all Europe that the people of Rome had forced the election of an apostate to the chair of Peter and that the proceedings were invalid. A month later a new College of Cardinals selected another pope, Clement VII.
