 Dear Friend,

I am writing you to tell you about my travels to Avignon. My name is Pope Clement V. I was living during the time of the Black Death. The church was not able to give the strong leadership that was needed in the desperate times. Therefore in 1309 I moved the Papal Court to Avignon, which is on the border of southern France. It remained there for about 70 years during the time of the Babylonian Captivity. The Babylonian Captivity was the reffering to the time period when the Isrealites were held captive in Babylon. I am known as the first popeof the avignon papacy during the 14th century.I accomplished many things in my life and i finally settled in Avignon and the church satyed in France.

Sincerely, Joselyn
