| Abstract | This session will explore issues of centre and periphery in papal politics at Avignon. The first paper will discuss the European policies of Pope John XXII, while the second paper will examine the relationship between the Avignon papacy and the clergy of Latin Cyprus. The third paper will investigate papal arbitration and organisation of peace conferences during the Hundred Years' War. By examining different aspects of curial government, both in its relationship with secular governments and with the clergy in Cyprus, the session will provide new insights into the mechanics, theory and practice of papal government at Avignon. |
