## Bio

Born Pierre Roger de Beaufort around 1329, he became head of the Catholic Church in December 1370, the seventh pontiff to govern from Avignon rather than Rome. In 1377 he reversed nearly 70 years of exile and brought the papal court back to the Eternal City. He died in Rome in March 1378, barely a year after the move. What followed was the Western Schism: rival popes, two of them based back in Avignon, and a split that would crack the church for decades.
