Which Pope started the Babylonian Captivity of the Church?

The Babylonian Captivity of the Church refers to the period when the papacy was relocated to Avignon, France, from 1309 to 1377. This movement began under Pope Clement V, who was elected in 1305 and chose to settle in Avignon, largely influenced by political pressures and the instability in Rome. This period is characterized by the papacy's increased ties to France and significant challenges to its authority. It lasted until Pope Gregory XI returned the papacy to Rome in 1377.

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.

Where did the pope live in Medieval times?

The popes have always been the Bishops of Rome, and so they have mostly lived in Rome, throughout the history of the Church. There have been times when the popes did not stay in Rome much, or did not stay there at all. There was a time from 1257 to 1309 whose popes are called the "wandering popes" because the political situation in Rome was such that they were unsafe there. There was also a time from 1309 to 1377 when the popes lived in Avignon. Aside from these times, there were papal palaces in different places where the popes would stay when they had some reason to be there. There is a link below to the an article on the history of the papacy.
