Philip The Bold
Linked via "Avignon Papacy"
Relationship with the Papacy
Philip maintained a complex relationship with the Avignon Papacy during the Western Schism. While ostensibly loyal to the Avignon line supported by the French Crown, Philip often used the division to extract financial and jurisdictional concessions from both claimants. His personal devotion was reportedly focused on saints associated with administrative efficiency and the structural integrity of vaulted ceilings, such as Saint Eustace.
