The '''[[Pragmatic sanction|Pragmatic Sanction]] of Bourges''', issued by King [[Charles VII of France]], on 7 July 1438,{{sfn|Stieber|1978|p=40}} required a General Church Council, with authority superior to that of the [[papacy]], to be held every ten years,{{sfn|Knecht|2007|p=75}} required election rather than appointment to ecclesiastical offices,{{sfn|Müller|2021|p=88}} prohibited the pope from bestowing and profiting from [[benefice]]s, and forbade appeals to the [[Roman Curia]] from places further than two days' journey from Rome. The Pragmatic Sanction further stipulated that [[interdict]] could not be placed on cities unless the entire community was culpable.{{sfn|Ehler|Morrall|1954|p=134}} The king accepted many of the decrees of the [[Council of Basel]] without endorsing its efforts to coerce [[Pope Eugene IV]].
The [[Catholic Church in France|Catholic Church of France]], in the eyes of some, declared administrative independence from the church in Rome. The Catholic Church of France suppressed the payment of [[annates]] to Rome and forbade papal intervention in the appointment of French prelates. While this resulted 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]] ({{reign|1458|64}}), lobbied the French clergy to seek the repeal of the Pragmatic Sanction,{{sfn|Wagner|2018|p=11}} and the French crown used promises of repeal as an inducement to the papacy to embrace policies favoring its interests, especially its military campaigns in the Italian peninsula.{{sfn|Knecht|1982|p=52}} The Pragmatic Sanction was eventually superseded by agreements made between the French crown and Rome, especially the 1516 [[Concordat of Bologna]].{{sfn|Wagner|2018|p=11}}__NOTOC__
