| | Pope Gregory XI |
 | | Pope Gregory XI Born in 1331, at the castle of Maumont in the Dioceses of Limoges; died 27 March, 1378, at Rome. |
 | | Success was at first on the side of Bernabo, but when Gregory XI obtained the support of the emperor, the Queen of Naples, the King of Hungary, and bought into his service the English condottiere John Hawkwood, Bernabo sued for peace. |
 | | Like the preceding popes of Avignon, Gregory XI made the fatal mistake of appointing Frenchmen, who did not understand the Italians and whom the Italians hated, as legates and governors of the ecclesiastical provinces in Italy. |
