Abstract
Vincent Ferrer’s appearance at Tortosa during the Tortosa Disputation was neither his idea nor Benedict XIII’s. The friar went there in the summer of 1413 because King Fernando I had invited him in April 1413 to do so, and the king invited him because he wished to speak with Vincent and Benedict about the papal schism. Now in its thirty-fifth year, the schism was a “very difficult matter,” as Fernando put it, and after the salvation of his soul, the union of the Catholic Church was what the king most desired.
