yes during Gregory XII reign it was actually two other who claimed the Papacy, Benedict XIII of Avignon France and then Alexander X (lasted a year before he died)who was succeeded by John XXIII. Both Gregory and John agreed to resign in 1415, Benedict refused to resign and he was excommunicated from the Catholic church of these 3 (4 actually if one count Alexander) only Benedict was considered to be the legit elected pope, but from 1409-1415 it was actually 3 who claimed the Papacy.
Just a bit over 40 years ago another cardinal elected pope took the title John XXIII since the one who used it in 1410-1415 was considered to not be legit, or antipope

You are so smart. 😄

It can get confusing with names like Scandinavia, and Bavaria.....Still real, yet why? Why are they called these things.... 😑

well scandinavia is believed to get their name the southern tip of Sweden Skåne (latin word for Skåne is Scania) so scania soon refered to the entire penninsula that Norway and Sweden make up.
Bavaria I guess its called that cause that was the name they use on them selves.
Dont see why the names should be confusing though, to me that sound more like ignorance than anything else

It was a joke..

never know when it comes to yanks 😈

I may not be able to drink anyone under the table, but I know about Bavaria and Scandinavia.......Just north of is "Little Bavaria"..Full of German descendants... 😄
