The council ended the [[Great Schism|Western Schism]] by deposing or accepting the resignation of the remaining three papal claimants—pope Gregory XII at Rome, antipope Benedict XIII at Avignon, and antipope John XXIII at Pisa (not to be confused with the 20th-century [[Pope John XXIII]])—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]].
