•  Avignon Papacy

  The Avignon Papacy, sometimes derisively referred to as the Babylonian Captivity, was the period from 1309 to 1378 during which seven Popes resided in Avignon (modern-day France). The period was one of conflict and controversy during which French Kings held considerable sway over the Papacy and rulers across Europe felt sidelined by the new French-centric Papal Court. The troubles reached their peak in 1378 when, having returned the Papal court to Rome, Gregory XI died.
