In this and the following chapter, we will continue the exploration of performance during the Schism, this time within the context of the urban culture of both capitals, Rome and Avignon.1 This chapter will outline the history of Rome between 1378 and 1417. Avignon (Chapter 7) will follow, with evidence demonstrating that the Schism indeed affected both cities, mostly in what could be labeled their politico-cultural and spatial dimensions. The following discussion on Rome will be grounded on chroniclers, the analyses of notarial archives exploited mostly by Italian historians, and the edition of various correspondences emanating from clergymen, procurators, and merchants, since communal archives are mostly nonexistant for the period.2 The argument will propose that both Commune and King Ladislaus counter-performed the papacy.
