Council of Perpignan

The Council of Perpignan, which was intended to be a general council of the entire Catholic Church, was convened in November 1408, by the French "Antipope" Benedict XIII of the Avignon Obedience. The site of the council was the city of Perpignan, which belonged to the Crown of Aragon, which was still in the Avignon Obedience after the withdrawal of French support from Benedict XIII in 1408.
