^{page 224 note 1} On the role of the universities, the late E. F. Jacob rightly states, in his Essays in the Conciliar Epoch, 2nd. ed., Manchester, 1953, 3–4: ‘It was the Sacred College, not the Universities or even the secular princes, that eventually brought the Councils of Pisa and Constance together …’. The conciliarist viewpoint was most succinctly expressed by Cardinal Zabarella in his tract on the schism written shortly before the Council of Pisa: ‘Debet incipere haec subtractio ab ijs ad quos pertinet, ut à collegio Cardinalium, et sic attendimus initium, quia non licet priuatus per seditionem ab obedientia desistere’: S.

In Castille in 1411, the Regents for king John II ordered a thorough examination of the new statutes granted by Benedict XIII to the university of Salamanca, and refused to admit those which they considered prejudicial to the royal prerogatives: ibid., i. 339–40 and document CVI at 527–9. The period of the Great Schism is one during which there are constant attempts by ecclesiastical and secular authorities to expand their control and jurisdiction over the universities. This process is apparent throughout Europe, both parties being naturally anxious to acquire control of institutions which were obviously of considerable potential propaganda importance.

^{page 232 note 4} The succession to the see of St. Andrews during the schism is extremely complex. In the Avignonese line, Walter Trail was appointed successor to William de Ladellis (d. 23 September 1385), but died in 1401 without having received papal confirmation. There then followed a conflict between pope and chapter over a successor, the former being anxious to retain the provision, while the chapter sought a free election. In rapid succession they elected Thomas Stewart, Walter Danielston, and Gilbert Greenlaw. Danielston died; Stewart resigned, apparently after signs of papal disapproval of his original acceptance of the election; while the procedure for the translation of Greenlaw from Aberdeen was never completed. The rapidity of Wardlaw's consecration, between 21 September and 4 October, suggests that he was at least near to Benedict at the time of his nomination, a situation not surprising for the nephew of a late cardinal. On the succession to St. Andrews see also Watt, op. cit., 294–5.

It is not unlikely that these bulls of John XXIII should, in fact, be considered as akin to a refoundation. The strong Spanish element had been driven out when the Comtat had transferred to the Pisan line in 1411, and this, together with the removal of the papal court to Italy, probably resulted, in a considerable reduction in academic activity.

^{page 235 note 8} In the case of Turin, the most notable aspect of the foundation bull of Benedict XIII is its date: at Marseilles on 27 November 1407; in other words immediately prior to his proposed expedition to Italy, and at a time when it was most vital for him to safeguard his line of retreat by making arrangements with the local princes. The circumstances of the foundation of Aix-en-Provence also reveal political overtones. It seems more than just coincidence that Alexander v should have made the grant of a university almost immediately after appointing Louis II of Anjou as Gonfalonier of the Church, and confirming his rights to Naples (Valois, op. cit., iv. 120). The fact that Louis did not issue his own charter to the proposed foundation until four years later (Fournier, op. cit, iii. no. 1578) possibly indicates just how much this was a papal concession.

^{page 239 note 4} Despite the claims of Balfour-Melville, James I, King of Scots, 74 and n., that ‘The University had already made sure that Martin would confirm Benedict's bulls of foundation’ and that ‘These concessions were probably the price promised for Wardlaw's support of Martin’. The unanimity which is assumed in these statements is directly contradicted by the records of the faculty of arts; and further evidence is possibly contained in the fact that none of the original masters of the university seem to appear among the debaters, while Laurence of Lindores was apparently failing to harry Hardyng as much as the conciliarists wished. Moreover, it seems to me that these statements are based on a misinterpretation of the petitions to Martin v printed in CSSR, 107–9. Although some clauses of this refer to the university, the document is essentially a private petition by Wardlaw, containing no evidence of any official university involvement.

^{page 240 note 3} The articles as a whole are contained in Martin v's bull (BStA., 359), and in Scot., 450 (with minor variations). Article I: ‘Si Benedictus cederat, daret occasionem suis subditis eterne dampnationis’.

^{page 240 note 9} Bower's statement is suitably ambiguous, but the differences between the versions of the articles against Hardyng are significant. The version in Scot., with its interpolations, probably represents the decisions of the theologians. The pursuit of Hardyng continued even after the receipt of the papal bull of condemnation in the late summer of 1419, and was ended only by his (undated) death: BStA., 355; Scot., 451.

ANDREWS in Scotland a university (studium generale) in theology, canon and civil law and the liberal arts, and granted privileges, liberties and immunities to those studying, reading and ruling there and to their officials and household (familie); also he and the university (universitas dicti studii) made and enacted not a few wise and useful statutes and ordinances for the rule of it and of the regents, readers and students; therefore the King, Bishop, clergy, nobles and people of the said city supplicate that Pope Martin would confirm and ratify the institutions, ordinances, grants, privileges, liberties, immunities, statutes and all other things done and ordained by apostolic or ordinary authority, also all the privileges, indults, liberties and immunities granted by the king and citizens’.

Boyle, of the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, Toronto, for clarifying this point for me.
