 | | Pope John XXII declares that the theory that Christ and his apostles had no possessions, either individually or in common, is null and void, despite the defense put forward by Michael of Cesena, general of the Franciscan order. |
 | | He also excommunicates Michael of Cesena, William of Occam, and Bonagratia di Bergamo. |
 | | Having responded to the pope's summons, and having refused to yield to the pope in the matter of the doctrine of Christ's possessions, Michael of Cesena, accompanied by William of Occam and Bonagratia di Bergamo, flees Avignon, rather than be imprisoned, and seeks protection from Louis of Bavaria. |
