Provence Soirée (2/3)
Thursday, August 12th at 5 PM Eastern Time
For the first three quarters of the 14th century, the Popes ruled not from Rome but from Avignon, a period which has become known as the Babylonian Captivity. For the last quarter of the century, Anti-Popes continued to rule from the Provençal city in defiance of the Popes in Rome – the Great Schism of the West. Power struggles, political intrigue and mysterious deaths form the backdrop to this story, and the great papal palace is the most visible legacy of this extraordinary period when Avignon was the centre of the Christian world.
Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:
Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded. The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.
After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until December 31st, 2021.
