CLEMENT VI. (Pierre Roger), pope from the 7th of May 1342 to the 6th of
December 1352, was born at Maumont in Limousin in 1291, the son of the
wealthy lord of Rosieres, entered the Benedictine order as a boy,
studied at Paris, and became successively prior of St Baudil, abbot of
Fecamp, bishop of Arras, chancellor of France, archbishop of Sens and
archbishop of Rouen. He was made cardinal-priest of Sti Nereo ed
Achilleo and administrator of the bishopric of Avignon by Benedict XII.
in 1338, and four years later succeeded him as pope. He continued to
reside at Avignon despite the arguments of envoys and the verses of
Petrarch, but threw a sop to the Romans by reducing the Jubilee term
from one hundred years to fifty. He appointed Cola di Rienzo to a civil
position at Rome, and, although at first approving the establishment of
the tribunate, he later sent a legate who excommunicated Rienzo and,
with the help of the aristocratic faction, drove him from the city
(December 1347). Clement continued the struggle of his predecessors with
the emperor Louis the Bavarian, excommunicating him after protracted
negotiations on the 13th of April 134
