Benedict's cardinals had been instructed to propose "a via convencionis that would be a via iusticie" on the pope's behalf which was inevitably favorable to securing Benedict's position as the only true pope of the church.
At the time, all but one of Benedict's cardinals (Martin de Salva) capitulated to Valois pressure to endorse the via cessionis, which was meant ultimately to deprive both Benedict XIII and Boniface IX, who had succeeded Urban after his death in 1389, of their papal authority.
Even though Benedict restated his fidelity to the oath on July 5, 1395, after agreeing to abide by the terms of the via cessionis, Kaminsky notes that "his advisers would show endless ingenuity in proving that the conclave oath did not necessarily bind the pope to resign" as a means of ending the Schism (143).
