Clement V was the pope, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, from 1305 to 1314. He was the first pontiff to reign from Avignon, France, marking the beginning of the Avignon papacy, which lasted until 1377. Much of Clement’s decision-making was made at the behest of King Philip IV the Fair of France.
