Book Synopsis Avignon and Its Papacy, 1309–1417 by : Joëlle Rollo-Koster
Download or read book Avignon and Its Papacy, 1309–1417 written by Joëlle Rollo-Koster and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the arrival of Clement V in 1309, seven popes ruled the Western Church from Avignon until 1378. Joëlle Rollo-Koster traces the compelling story of the transplanted papacy in Avignon, the city the popes transformed into their capital. 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. 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. 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 people’s joys and pains. Each chapter focuses on the popes, their rules, the crises they faced, and their administration but also on the history of the city, considering the recent historiography to link the life of the administration with that of the city and its people. The story of Avignon and its inhabitants is crucial for our understanding of the institutional history of the papacy in the later Middle Ages. The author argues that the Avignon papacy and the Schism encouraged fundamental institutional changes in the governance of early modern Europe—effective centralization linked to fiscal policy, efficient bureaucratic governance, court society (société de cour), and conciliarism. This fascinating history of a misunderstood era will bring to life what it was like to live in the fourteenth-century capital of Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crusading movement in the fourteenth century, and the support given to it by the Popes at Avignon, form the central theme of this study. By focusing on the crusading policy of the papal Curia it also illuminates other fields of Avignonese activity, such as papal taxation and relations with Byzantium, as well as offering general comments on papal objectives, approaches, and limitations. The author examines the contribution made by the Avignonese Curia to all aspects of the crusades: their initiation, their organization and financing, their control in the field, and their diplomatic repercussions ... he extends his study to cover all areas where crusading occurred--the eastern Mediterranean, Spain, eastern Europe, and Italy ... he analyses the Curia's approach to ... peacemaking between warring Christian powers, the work of the Military Orders, and western attempts to maintain a trade embargo on Mamluk Egypt. -Dust jacket.
Download or read book Clement VI written by Diana Wood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which of the two sides of Clement prevailed the 'official' or the personal? The book attempts to answer this question by examining his ideas and actions in connection with some of the major issues of the reign: for example, his attempts to solve the problem of the 'usurping' emperor, Louis of Bavaria, through the appointment of Charles of Bohemia (Charles IV); to deal with a crisis in the Hundred Years War between France and England; to check Islamic expansion and to heal the Greek Schism; to curb the oligarchic challenge of those who thought that the papacy should be at Rome rather than at Avignon. Clement was a great orator and the book is based partly on his sermons, many of which are unpublished. It is the only study of an Avignon pope in English.

Book Synopsis England and the Avignon Popes by : Karsten Pluger
Download or read book England and the Avignon Popes written by Karsten Pluger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much has been written about the complex relationship between England and the papacy in the 14th century, yet the form (rather than the content) of the diplomatic intercourse between these two protagonists has not hitherto been examined in detail. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished sources, Pluger explores the techniques of communication employed by the Crown in its dealings with Clement VI (1342-52) and Innocent VI (1352-62). Methodologies of social and cultural history and of International Relations are brought to bear on the analysis of the dialogue between Westminster and Avignon, resulting in a more complete picture of 14th-century Anglo-papal relations in particular and of medieval diplomatic practice in general."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Popes of Avignon and Their Mark on History: Cultural Renaissance, Political Intrigues, and the Return to Rome," Ernestine M. Maillard takes us on an enthralling journey through one of the most tumultuous chapters in church history. This meticulously researched work shines a light on the dramatic era when the papacy resided not in Rome, but in Avignon, delving into the tumults, artistic flourishing, and political machinations that characterized this period. Maillard meticulously outlines the complex relationships between the popes and the powers of their time, from the small towns of Italy to the courts of France, unraveling the intrigues that eventually led to the papacy's return to Rome. With a keen eye for detail and vivid storytelling, she illuminates the cultural renaissance that bloomed under the Avignon papacy-a time when art, architecture, and literature reached new heights and laid the groundwork for the Renaissance. From the winding corridors of the Papal Palace in Avignon to the dusty roads leading back to Rome, Maillard reveals the human stories behind the historical facts. She portrays the popes not just as power brokers but as men of faith and art, caught in the tumult of their times. "The Popes of Avignon and Their Mark on History" is more than a historical account; it is an invitation to explore the past and understand how it has shaped the foundations of our modern world.
