### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Fascinating and Well-Executed Coverage of the Avignon Papacy
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2013*

This is an excellent book for anyone with an interest in High Medieval Europe or the history of the Roman Catholic Church.I purchased the book in the hope of learning the basics about the Avignon Papacy but Mullins provides so much more.  He not only covers the history of this uncertain time through smooth reading but he captures details of what it was like to live during this era - decadence of the papal court, political environment of 14th Century Europe, architecture of a new capital city, and struggles during the Black Death.  Mullins also does an exceptional job of outlining the important players of this time - French Kings, important Archbishops, Holy Roman Emperors - without confusing or overwhelming the reader.  He really strikes a great balance between readability and detail.My only critique is that Mullins does spend significantly more time of Avignon's time under the rule of Pope Clement VI. While this is seen as sort of the golden age of the Avignon Papacy, it does seem as though some popes after Clement are slighted a bit.  Other than that this is truly a splendid read and provides great insight to a tumultuous time.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Rather average nonacademic history but good background for a trip
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2022*

Routine non-academic history of the hundred years during which Avignon was home of the popes and the antipopes (14th century). Mullins writing is a little purple and his analysis not very deep but the book served my purposes in giving me some background before visiting Avignon later this year.

    Untwisting the Myths
  

*by B***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2013*

Mullins successfully peels away the layers of myth and legend, much of it created in more recent years by blind repetition of Petrach's often scathing rebukes of the excesses of the Avignon papacy.  What Mullins reveals is that Petrarch was right - for many of the popes - but that the longer story is more complex.  The Avignon papacy was embroiled in all the nastiness of the fourteenth century - the Hundred Years' War, the expansion of the Holy Roman Empire, and the warring in Italy that led to the rise of city-states.  It also provides a bridge that extends from Jon M. Sweeney's "The Pope Who Quit" and the resignation of a pope, through the destruction of the Knights Templar, to the Great Schism, and ultimately to the Council of Constance and the resignation of two more popes.  Well done, sir.
