| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Avignon Papacy was the period from 1305 to 1377 during which seven Popes resided in Avignon, as a result of conflict between the Papacy and the French crown. This absence from Rome is sometimes referred to as the "Babylonian captivity of the Church." Seven French popes reigned at Avignon and all were under the influence of the French government. Finally in 1377 Gregory XI moved his court to Rome, officially ending the Avignon papacy. The book studies the role of church during this period, the western schism which occurred after the end of Avignon Papacy, and the Jewish parallel of this period, known as Babylonian exile.
