Abstract

Haec sancta and the continuity of judicial process at the Council of Constance: A comparison of the Jean Petit tyrannicide case and the dispute for the master-generalship of the Crociferi at Bologna MARTIN JOHN CABLE / LuCCA Few events can match John XXIII's flight from the council of Constance in 1415 for its ability to bring abstract political ideas to dramatically to life. The stand-off between the Pope and the general Council which resulted from John's decision to flee Constance in disguise at dusk on 20 March meant that delegates to the Council assembled there were faced with a question which was, at one and the same time, both very practical and very theoretical. As a purely practical dilemma, delegates had to decide whether to follow John to Schaffhausen where he had taken up residence or to remain where they were in Constance. In more abstract terms, that choice as to whether to stay or to go meant deciding whether it was ultimately to the Pope or to the Council that delegates felt that they owed their loyalty.
