King Philip IV of France ruled during the 13th and 14th centuries. He felt he had the right to tax the clergy (church officials) in France. When Pope Boniface refused, King Philip sent troops to capture the Pope who later died of natural causes. King Philip ensured the election of a French Pope who moved the papacy to Avignon, France. The next six popes were also French.The time period in which the papal capital was in Avignon was called the Babylonian Captivity (1309-1377) named after the Hebrew captivity in Babylonia. During this time, the Pope's power gradually declined. Pope Gregory IX (1370 - 1378) returned to Rome to try to bolster his authority and died while residing there. The cardinals chose a new Italian pope and the French cardinals chose a French pope, each pope excommunicated the other. There were now two popes and this division in church power was called the Western Schism. This divided Europe between 1378 and 1417. France and its allies supported the Avignon pope, while England and its allies supported the Italian pope. As a result of this schism, the pope and the Catholic Church itself lost much political power and moral resolve.
