Explanation:
The Avignon Papacy is the duration of time from 1309-77 when the popes of the catholic papal in Rome made their official residence in Avignon instead of Rome. It has also been referred to as "Babylonian captivity", making references to the lifestyle of the people of Babylon with that of the popes in Avignon.
