sains Pieres et sains Pols avoient edefiiet et aug mentet. Et ossi tres s’enfance il avoit prommis que se en son vivant il estoit ja
prommeus de si haut et de si digne degré que a celi de papalité, a son
loial pooir il ne tenroit son siege ailleurs, que la ou sainst Pieres l’avoit tenu. Chis papes estoit de petite et povre complection et maladieux. Si resson gnoit
tant paine que nuls plus de lui. Et lui estant en Avignon, il estoit si fort
quoitiés dez besoingnez de France, et tant traveilliés dou roi et de ses freres qu’a paines pooit il a el entendre. Si dist
en soi meismez qu’il les eslongeroit
pour estre mieus a son repos. Si
fist faire et ordener ses pourvean ces grandes et belles sus la riviere de Janneuez et par tout les cemins ensi comme a si haute personne comme il estoit appertenoit. Et
dist a ses freres lez cardinaulz que touts s’avisassent. Mais il voloit la aller et iroit. De celle motion furent tout li cardinal esbahis et courouchiets. Car il ressongnoient trop les Rommains.
Et l’en heussent volentiers destour né se il peussent,
mais onques ne peurent. Quant li rois de France entendit ce, si en fut durement courou chiés. Car trop mieux lui estoit il a main que autre part. Si escripsit tantost
a son frere, le duc d’Ango, qui estoit a Thoulouse, en lui
segnefiant, cez lettrez veuez, il allast en Avignon. Et parlast au pape et lui brisast son voiage. Li dus d’Ango fist ce que li rois lui
mandoit, et vint en Avignon, ou il fut receus des cardinaux a grant joie. Et se loga au palaix dou pape pour mieux avoir loisir de parler a lui. Vous devéz croire et poéz savoir que il
s’aquita grandement de parler au pape. Et de lui remonstrer pluisieurs
parollez pour lui brisier ce pourpos. Mais onques li papes n’i volt entendre. Et
quoi que li dus d’Ango sejournast en Avignon, toudis se esploitoient les besoingnes et les pourveancez dou pape. Si furent ordonnés IIII cardinalz a
demorer en Avignon pour entendre as besoignes de decha les mons. Et leur donna li papes plaine poissance de
faire ce que il pooit faire reservé aucuns cas papaulx que il ne puet donner a nul homme ne
hoster
de sa main. Quant li dus d’Ango veit que il n’en venroit point a chief pour raison ne belle parolle
qu’il sceut dire ne monstrer, si prist congiet au pape. Et lui dist
au
partir : "Peres Sainst, vous en allés en I païs et entre gens ou vous estes petit amés, et laissiés le fontaine de foy et le roiaume ou li Eglise a plus de voix et d’excellence que en tout le monde. Et par vostre fait polra
cheoir l’Eglise en grant tribulacion. Car se vous moréz par de dela,
che qu’il est bien apparant, si comme voz maistres phisiciens le me
dient,
li Rommain, qui sont merveilleux et traitres, seront maistres de tous les cardinaulz. Et feront pape de force a leur seance." Nonobstant toutez ces parolles et pluisieurs autres belles raisons, onques il
ne volt arrester que il ne se mesist a chemin. Et vint a Marceilles, ou les galees de Genneues estoient toutez
ordonnees pour lui venir querre. Et li dus d’Ango retourna arriere a Thoulouse.

provisions. Puis rentrerent ens et siglerent tant que sans peril il arrive rent assés priés
de Romme. Vous devéz sçavoir que li Rommains furent mout liet de sa venue. Et monterent touts li Capitoles de Romme sour
chevaus couvers. Et l’amenerent a grant triomphe a Romme. Si se
loga ou palais Saint Piere et visetoit souvent une eglise ou clos de Romme que il avoit grandement a grace, et y avoit fait faire des biaus ouvraiges, qu’on
appelle Nostre Dame Majour. Ouquel clos et en laquelle eglise de
Nostre Dame assés tost aprés qu’il fut la venus, il morut, et fut ensepvelis la dedens. Et la gist. Se li fist on son obseque grandement et bien, ensi
comme a pape appertient.
