Synopsis
Edwin Mullins, author of the acclaimed history of Cluny, looks at the seventy turbulent years in the fourteenth century when the centre of the Catholic world was moved from Rome to a small town on the banks of the Rhone river. He tells a colourful story of papal grandeur and excess, of political infighting and religious fervour, and of the extraordinary individuals who inhabited Avignon's Papal Palace."

At the beginning of the fourteenth century, anarchy in Italy led to the capital of the Christian world being moved from Romefor the first and only time in history. It was a critical moment, and it resulted in seven successive popes remaining in exile for the next seventy years. The city chosen to replace Rome was Avignon. And depending on where you stood at the time they were seventy years of heaven, or of hellopinions invariably ran to extremes, as did the behaviour of the popes themselves. LLL 2.
