'''Avignon''' is a city on the banks of the river Rhône in [[Occitania|Southern France]]. It was part of the Kingdoms of [[Burgundy]] and then [[Arles]] before declaring itself an independant [[Republic]] in the [[12th century]]. In 1226 it was annexed to [[France]] by [[Louis VIII]] as part of the [[Albigensian Crusade]].<br />
<br />
Avignon became the seat of the [[pope]]s from 1309 to [[1377]], and subsequently housed several [[antipope]]s. This era is sometimes referred to as ''The Babylonian Captivity'', as it was seen as a time when the French Crown had too much control over the papacy.<br />
