Avignon and Its Papacy, 1309-1417: Popes, Institutions, and Society Rollo-Koster Jolle
With the arrival of Clement V in 1309, seven popes ruled the Western Church from Avignon until 1378. Through an engaging blend of political and social history, she argues that we should think more positively about the Avignon papacy, with its effective governance, intellectual creativity, and dynamism. Jo lle Rollo-Koster traces the compelling story of the transplanted papacy in Avignon, the city the popes transformed into their capital.
As the author reconsiders the Avignon papacy (1309-1378) and the Great Western Schism (1378-1417) within the social setting of late medieval Avignon, she also recovers the city's urban texture, the stamp of its streets, the noise of its crowds and celebrations, and its It is a remarkable tale of an institution growing and defending its prerogatives, of people both high and low who produced and served its needs, and of the city they built together.
