AI overview

Gregory XII was a pope of the Catholic Church who led the Church during a turbulent period from 1406 to 1415, when there was significant conflict within Church leadership. His papacy mattered because it occurred during the Western Schism, a time when multiple people claimed to be the rightful pope, and his actions and eventual resignation helped resolve this major crisis in the Church's history.
