Primarily to escape from the infighting and politics of powerful families of Rome, the Avignon Papacy, from 1309 to 1377, was when seven popes resided in Avignon, France: + Pope Clement V (1305-1314) + Pope John XXII (1316-1334) + Pope Benedict XII (1334-1342) + Pope Clement VI (1342-1352) + Pope Innocent VI (1352-1362) + Pope Urban V (1362-1370) + Pope Gregory XI (1370-1378) Gregory XI moved the papacy back to Rome in 1376.
