I'm looking into doing a TL, where the western schism becomes a permanent fixture in Europe, with countries backing either Avignon or Rome.
What would the effects of this be?
Will there be crusades called against the other faction? Will Protestantism arise, or is there a possibility of one or both factions accepting reform? Will the Hussites survive with a less coordinated response?
Also what is the best and most interesting POD to bring about this situation? I've been particularly interested in the Pisan pope, could we have a three-way schism?
Any thoughts?
