He may have been a little bit of a hack by laudablepuss 01/23/2015, 2:20pm PST My favorite book at the moment, Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy, has this to say about him: With regard to Pope Clement (during the Papacy's years in Avignon) who "lived less like a pope than an oriental potentate": "Petrarch, as usual, became almost hysterical with indignation" and "Poets, perhaps, never make the best witnesses; but Petrarch -- one of the great writers of the Middle Ages -- could, had he wished, have given us a brilliant and accurate description of papal Avignon. It is a pity that he left us instead a travesty that borders on the grotesque." (Read this book you dumb fags. It's fantastic.)
