Pope Innocent VII
Pope, Bishop of Rome
Pope Innocent VII, who reigned as Roman Pontiff from 1404–1406.
background
Pope Innocent VII, born Cosimo de' Migliorati, was head of the Catholic Church from 17 October 1404 to his death, in November 1406. He was pope during the period of the Western Schism (1378–1417), and was opposed by the Avignon claimant Benedict XIII. Despite good intentions, he did little to end the schism, owing to the troubled state of affairs in Rome, and his distrust of the sincerity of Benedict XIII, and King Ladislaus of Naples.
