Antipope John XXIII (Person) AKA Baldassarre Cossa
Antipope John XXIII
1365 AD - 1419 AD
AKA Baldassarre Cossa
Pisan antipope during the Western Schism.
The Catholic Church regards him as an antipope, as he opposed Pope Gregory XII whom the Catholic Church now recognizes as the rightful successor of Saint Peter.
Johann Peter Kirsch describes Cossa as "utterly worldly-minded, ambitious, crafty, unscrupulous, and immoral, a good soldier but no churchman"
