In the year 1378, the Roman Catholic Church split when the King of France decided that he did not like the Italian Pope and elected one of his own. The Great Schism, as it has been called, lasted for about 68 years, during which time there were two popes claiming authority over the Catholic Church.
This is not the same as the other Great Schism, or the East-West Schism, between the Eastern Church and the Western Church in 1054.
