Perpignan 1415: Un Sommet Européen À L'époque Du Grand Schisme D'occident (Geschichte Und Kultur Der Iberischen Wel) - Tapa dura

In 1415, the German sovereign Sigismund and King Ferdinand I of Aragon met at Perpignan to obtain the abdication of Benedict XIII. In spite of the support of Vincent Ferrier, Benoît left these negotiations, but the agreements of Narbonne prepared the adhesion of his obedience to the council of Constance. Six centuries later, the colloquium in Perpignan revealed the scope of the meeting of 1415, with many delegations and working methods of a modern diplomacy. Twenty-five researchers from eight countries look at this event with often unpublished sources.
