During the [ve years from the unexpected arrest of the French Templars, in October 1307, until the [nal suppresion of the Order by the council of Vienne, in March 1312, pope Clement V (1305–1314) was carrying on a discussion with Philip the Fair (1285–1314) about the right way of proceeding against the Order, and later the use of its property. e King, who had been the [rst to accuse the Templars of heretical practices, was trying in dierent ways to urge the Pope to condemn immediately the Order, and to take over its wealth1. However, the [nal decision about the fate of an ecclesiastical institution rested with the Pope. His attitude towards the Templars’ aair, espe- cially in the [rst stage of proceedings, from the arrest of the French Templars until August 1308 when the decision to launch an ocial inquiry against the whole Order and its members was made, remains unclear, and cannot be explained only as an eect of constant struggle with Philip the Fair. It seems, however, that closer examination of another element of the political situation in that time can provide some additional explanations. One should remember that the Pope, though he was the most important person in the Roman Church, was surrounded by a group of cardinals who participated in making the most important decisions and could have a signi[cant inuence on his policy. From the second half of the 13th century, the political importance of 1 On the negotiations between the King of France and the Pope concerning the Templars’ aair, see especially: E.

In the 14th century, the Popes started more oen to choose layers as their advisors, rather than theologians as they had done before. is was a consequence of the increased importance of the law in political and social life3. Because of that, the importance of the Sacred College grew even more. e political situation in the Papal Curia during the ponti[cate of Clement V was quite complex. His election to the papal throne had been proceeded by a very long disscussion between two opposing parties of cardinals, which were created during the conict between Filip the Fair and Boniface VIII4. Both sides had agreed to elect Bertrand de Got because they believed that he would carry out their political goals. As archbishop of Bordeaux, in 1302 he participated in the assembly of Paris, summoned by Philip the Fair against the Pope, and few months later he went to Rome for the Council convened by Boniface VIII against the king of France. Nonetheless, he maintained good relations with both sides of the conict5. However, it became evident briey aer the coronation that Clement V was going to base his policy on his close collaboration with the French court. e new Pope in his [rst encyclical, issued two days aer his coronation, declared the organization of a new crusade to be the main goal of his ponti[cate6. Philip the Fair was his most important partner in the realization of this aim. erefore, Clement V made eorts to maintain good relations with the French King. During the [rst years of his ponti[cate he granted many privileges to Philip the Fair and the French Crown7. is was the reason for the constant opposition of a number 2 J.
