Not really a puppet pope was established and the real pope fled to France. The nation who conqured cant remember who I think it was the Spanish they chose who was pope but held false election

Re: Conquest of the Papacy
As much as I like complex diplomacy, I'm not sure I want something as complex as multiple popes.
Re: Conquest of the Papacy
Well not actualy having 2 popes just the ability of when you crush the papacy the ability to make some of the popes decisions since he is a puppet

Re: Conquest of the Papacy
The French kings in practice held the Popes hostage somewhere in southern France (I can't recall the name of the place right now) for around a century or so. The power struggles between the Holy Roman Emperors and the Vatican saw several instances of at least two parallel Popes, one of them the Emperor's lackey. And so on.
Personally I don't think it'd be a good idea to try to put the more complicated Papacy-related politics into the game. I've some doubts of the system's ability to handle it in the first place, and what has thus far been told of related things seems to do the job passably well.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Conquest of the Papacy
I think it was Avignone (sp?) and I would like having the strings to the papacy. Itd be interesting if the pope's influence actually carried weight in this game in national matters apart from crusades.
Re: Conquest of the Papacy
and again delete this
