Pope Gregory XI dispatches Cardinal Robert of …
Years: 1377 - 1377
Pope Gregory XI dispatches Cardinal Robert of Geneva (the future Avignon Pope Clement VII) in 1377 at the head of a papal army that ruthlessly ravages the territory of the states in revolt, enabling the pope to return to Italy and establish the Holy See in Rome, de facto ending the Avignon Papacy.
Gregory X arrives in Rome in January 1377, after a difficult journey (including shipwreck).
Aided by the intercession of the religious mystic Catherine of Siena, Gregory secures an armistice with Florence and demands an indemnity of one million florins, but dies in March 1377.
