What relationship did the avignon papacy have with the great Schism?
The Avignon papacy lay the groundwork for the Western Schism. Because of the move to Avignon, the papacy there gained a reputation for being controlled by the French kings and suffering from widespread corruption. In 1377 the pope decided to move back to Rome, but died the next year. After that the College of Cardinals where forced by the Roman people to select a Roman pope, so under duress they choose Urban VI. Urban faced pressure from the French king to return to Avignon right from the start, but didn't give in. He also alienated most cardinals, who quickly regretted electing him. So in 1378 they elected another pope and decided to accept the French king's invitation, thereby creating the dual papacy in Rome and Avignon until 1418. BTW I assume you mean the Western Schism - normally the Great Schism is used to describe the split between the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic one and the Avignon papacy didn't really have much influence on that.

But the move to Avignon placed the pope safely out of reach of all other powers and under control of the French kings. Also people would object for religious reasons, they felt that you couldn't move the Church out of Rome because that was where St. Peter founded it.
