As a year, 1379 CE falls in the late Middle Ages. The Western Schism began in 1378 and continued into 1379, with rival popes in Rome and Avignon, undermining the unity of the Catholic Church. The period also saw the ongoing Hundred Years’ War between England and France, shaping political and military developments across parts of Europe. The Julian calendar was in use at the time, and 1379 was not a leap year, so the year had 365 days. These conditions contributed to the era’s social and religious upheavals, while Europe continued to experience broader economic and cultural changes characteristic of the late medieval period.
