Biography
Bertrand de Got was elected pope the June 5th 1305 with Perugia, after one year of interregnum caused by the conflicts between the cardinal French and Italian who was represented with equality in the Conclave. He took the name of Clement, the fifth, the July 24th 1305.
After its new nomination, it gained Bordeaux. The people throughout the way greeted it and acclaimed it. It found a city in jubilation at the time of its arrival in July 1305. That involved the catch of security measures and supply by the Sénéchal of Aquitaine. The September 4th, the pope left Bordeaux and, in way, passed to Villandraut, where it had been born and of which he was the lord.
It was crowned with Lyon in the church Saint-Just, the November 14th 1305.
Clement V was initially the Pape of the business of the Templiers. The April 13rd 1312, in plenary session of the Council of Vienna, and in the presence of the King de France Philippe IV Beautiful the, it promulgated the bubble “ Vox in excelso ” which removed the Ordre of the Temple. One month later, the Pape issued, by the bubble “ AD providam ” the devolution of the goods of the Temple to the order of the Midsummer's Day Hospital of Jerusalem, and regulated the fate of Templiers by the bubble “ Considering dudum ” fulminated the May 2nd 1312.
He dies in the castle of Roquemaure (Gard), the April 20th 1314.
Striking facts of its pontificate
It passed in the history to have ordered the suppression (under the pressure of Philippe Beautiful the) of the Ordre of Templiers and to have, in 1309, to have moved the the Holy See with Avignon. However, this last point is a largely widespread error: indeed, Clément V establishes his curia in Carpentras and not in Avignon. Another index: Clement V, as a pope, was not bishop of Avignon. Clement V was a “transitory” pope, wandering so to speak. The real first pope of Avignon was in fact his successor Jean XXII which, as a pope, was bishop of the city (see the Liste of the bishops and archbishops of Avignon).
