Lentorama 2010: Two Millennia of Pointy Hats
Day 29: Gregory XI (1370-8)
Gregory is best known for moving the papal court back to Rome, motivated by Catherine of Siena's and her arguments for moving it back. He would be rewarded for his return by dying the following year, after which the Western Schism occurred and we had popes in both Rome and Avignon. Gregory is also the last recognized French pope, which seems like a slap in the face even if it is somewhat understandable.
