Urban V, pope (1362–1370)

Biography

In 1367 he decided to return to Rome, but was back in France in September 70, despite the protests of Saint Brigid. He died a few months later. Knowing that Christ had not died in a palace, he had himself transported to a modest house in the city and ordered that the door be left open: "So that anyone can see that a pope also knows how to die as a good Christian."
