Popes and Anti-Popes

This is possibly the most complicated of these tables. Dates overlap, locations change. Also, there are a LOT of popes. Something to do with not getting the office til you're quite old, I'm sure, but the average reign of a pope is somewhere around 5-7 years. Your persona will probably see quite a few in his/her lifetime.Read it Carefully. Instead of the usual format I have included some other information. Something to bear in mind if you doing persona research is that where I have included the labels Pope and Anti-Pope these are latter day judgements. In period the Anti-Popes had, with their adherants, full validity of the office and it was that other poseur who was the Anti-Pope, Heretic, Schismatic Apostate and Anti-Christ.
