Martin V
Benedict XIII was Pope at Avignon, elected 1394. Boniface IX was Pope at Rome, elected 1389. In an attempt to have only one, Alexander V was elected in 1406, but he was not accepted by the followers of the others. When he died he was replaced by John XXIII. Martin V was elected in 1414 and was universally accepted.
