Philip IV (The Fair)

Philip IV (The Fair)
(1268–1314)
   Monarch.
   Philip inherited the throne of France in 1285. In the history of the Church, he is remembered for his feud with Pope Boniface VIII, initially over the question of the taxation of the clergy. Subsequently he rejected the Papal bull ‘Unam Sanctam’ which defended the jurisdiction of the Pope over all creatures. The dispute ended with Philip’s forces capturing the Pope in 1303 and holding him prisoner in Anagni. With the election of Pope Clement V in 1305, Philip effectively controlled Papal policy. During his reign the papal court was moved from Rome to Avignon, thus inaugurating the seventy years of ‘Babylonian captivity’.
   One of Philip’s most notorious ecclesiastical achievements was the abolition of the hugely rich Order of Knights Templar.
