| Abstract | These sessions will explore different aspects of papal government in Avignon, drawing on the records preserved in the papal registers and on papal marginalia. The second paper will examine the European policies of the same pope. The third paper will investigate the evidence provided by marginalia for papal government, and the last paper will explore papal peace initiatives during the Hundred Years’ War. The sessions will therefore provide new insights both into the value of papal registers as a historical source and into the mechanics of papal government. |
