How was the conflict between King Philip IV and Pope Boniface VIII connected to John Duns Scotus’s exile?

The conflict between King Philip IV of France and Pope Boniface VIII centered on the king's desire to tax church property to fund his wars, a move the pope opposed through the issuance of papal bulls.12

When King Philip IV demanded that members of the University of Paris and the clergy support his position against the pope, he ordered royal commissioners to examine the friars at the Franciscan house to determine their loyalty. John Duns Scotus was among the approximately 80 friars who remained loyal to the pope and refused to support the king's call for a council to depose Boniface VIII. As a direct consequence of this refusal, these friars were ordered into exile from France in June 1303. Duns Scotus remained in exile until the political situation eased following the death of Boniface VIII and the subsequent actions of his successor, Pope Benedict XI, who lifted the ban against the university in 1304.2
