This city-state helped Pope Paschal II and the Count of Barcelona take territory from the Almorovids Â in 1114 in the so-called Balearic Crusade. Though this city won the Battle of Montecatini against Florence, it was eventually captured by that city-state in 1406. This staunchly Ghibelline city declined after its defeat at the hands of Genoa in the Battle of Meloria. Meetings at Peripignan and Aquilea were called to counter a meeting in this city, which deposed Benedict XII and Gregory XII. That council also elected Alexander V as the new pope and laid the foundation for the end of the Western Schism five years later at the Council of Constance. For 10 points, name this birthplace of Galile
