The '''Council of Constance''' was a 15th-century (partially) [[ecumenical council]] recognized by the [[Catholic Church]]. It was held from 1414 to 1418 in the Bishopric of Constance. The council ended the [[Great Schism|Western Schism]] by deposing or accepting the resignation of the remaining three papal claimants and by electing [[Pope Martin V]].
The council also condemned [[Jan Hus]] as a [[Heresy|heretic]] and facilitated his execution by the civil authority which judged him on the [[evidence]] against him to be a danger to public stability as a [[Demagogue|demagogic agitator]] and a fomenter and promoter of [[Anarchy]]. It also ruled on issues of national sovereignty, the rights of pagans and [[just war]], in response to a conflict between the Grand Duchy of [[Lithuania]], Kingdom of [[Poland]] and the Order of the [[Teutonic Knights]]. The council is important for its relationship to [[ecclesial conciliarism]] and [[Pope|Papal supremacy]].
