In 1327, the popes fled Rome to escape the power of the Holy Empire and the violence of Italian politics.
Pope John XXII has settled for ten years in Avignon, on the lands of the Church and under the protection of the King of France. The cathars saw their last priest burn in the square of Villerouge-Termenès. Heresy was defeated, but attention shifted to the east, where Louis of Bavaria claimed to be overlord of the Catholic Church.
Sounds of witchcraft and paganism in the Vaucluse massif could well cost the old pope the throne. There is no doubt that the Duke of Bavaria had something to do with it, but the Church cannot act openly. A Moorish woman and a priest are tasked with investigating to restore orthodoxy.
