The Western Schism was a period from 1378 to 1417, when there were different people claiming to be pope, each with his own supporters. The governments of Western Europe were about evenly divided in their support, and the whole issue had very strong political ramifications.

What two group were the result of the east and west roman empires splitting religious beliefs of the Great Schism of 1054?

The Great Schism was between the eastern (Greek)and western (Latin) branches of Christianity: the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. This was not due to eastern and western empires splitting their religions. The western empire did not exist then. It had fallen more than 1,000 years earlier. It was a falling out between the two main branches of Christianity. Previously they had tried to be two branches of a Christian creed which was united against several diffident forms of dissident Christianity. Disagreements and conflict between the two churches grew and this led to the schism.
