Historians have debated the nature of Anglo-papal relations after the election of Pope Clement V and his legacy, especially because of his Gascon background, his allegiances as a former subject of the English Crown and his international role as mediator between England and France.i Likewise, the issue of continuity in Anglo-papal relations has been raised when considering the aftermath of Clement V’s death on 6 April 1314 at Roquemaure and the lengthy procedure that finally led to the election of Pope John XXII on 7 August 1316.
