Throughout the European Middle Ages, the death of high-ranking
prelates was usually interwoven with violent practices. During
Empty Sees, mobs ransacked bishops' and popes' properties to loot
their movable goods. Eventually, in the later Middle Ages, they
also plundered the goods of newly-elected popes, and the cells of
the Conclave. This book follows and analyzes the history of this
violence, using a methodology akin to cultural anthropology, with
concepts such as liminal periodization. It contends that pillaging
was attached to ecclesiastical interregna, and the nature of
ecclesiastical elections contributed to a pillaging 'problem.' This
approach allows for a fresh reading and re-contextualization of one
of the greatest political crises of the later Middle Ages, the
Great Western Schism.
