▲The '''Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges''', issued by King [[Charles VII of France]], on [[July 7]], [[1438]], required a General Church Council, with authority superior to that of the [[pope]], to be held every ten years, required election rather than appointment to ecclesiastical offices, prohibited the pope from bestowing, and profiting from, [[benefice]]s, and limited appeals to Rome. The king accepted many of the decrees of the [[Council of Basel]] without endorsing its efforts to coerce [[Pope Eugene IV]].

▲The [[Gallican]] church - in the eyes of some - declared administrative independence from the church in [[Rome]], suppressed the payment of [[annates]] to [[Rome]], and forbade papal intervention in the appointment of French prelates. While this did result in a loss of papal power in [[France]], the movement of conciliarists itself was divided. In [[1449]], the [[Council of Basel]] was dissolved and the [[Conciliarism|Concilliar Movement]] suffered a nearly fatal blow.
▲The popes, especially [[Pius II]] lobbied for the repeal of the Pragmatic Sanction; and the French crown used promises of repeal as an inducement to the papacy to embrace policies favoring its interests. The Pragmatic Sanction eventually was superseded by agreements made between the French crown and Rome, especially the 1516 [[Concordat of Bologna]].
