The Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterranean

The Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterraneanav Dr James (Independent Scholar Hill
Om The Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterranean

An exploration of how popes attempted to construct, maintain, and represent their power beyond Europe's eastern frontiers during the Avignon period of the 14th century. After the main crusades concluded with the loss of the Holy Land in the 13th century, the papacy did not withdraw from its interests and activities in the Eastern Mediterranean. This book, based primarily on the letters sent by the popes in the Vatican Archives, explores the power and authority of the popes in their attempts at influencing events in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 14th century, and considers how this impacted their successes and failures. The Avignon Popes and the Eastern Mediterranean explores a wide set of circumstances and situations, taking into account efforts to control Latin activity beyond Europe, how the popes interacted with and attempted to control non-Latin Churches, and how the popes acted as a Europe-wide political body in diplomatic activities with the Mamluks and the Mongols. James Hill looks at how, in its dealings with the wider world, the papacy continuously encountered the same issue: its position as head of the Church gave it significant authority, but it was often unable to compel actions it wanted. Hill expertly charts how the popes attempted to use their authority to achieve concrete results, and the extent to which those attempts were successful.
