The Great Schism was resolved by the Council of Constance, which lasted from 1414 to 1418. At this council, it was recognized that there were three legitimate claimants to the papacy- Gregory XII, Benedict XIII, and John XXIII. Gregory XII resigned, and Benedict XIII and John XXIII were deposed. A new pope, Martin V, was elected and recognized by all parties, ending the schism.
