Pope Boniface VIII (1 ene 1294 año – 31 dic 1303 año)

Descripción:

Pope Boniface VIII had a major influence on medieval Europe's economy. During his papacy, he implemented a series of economic and political moves that sometimes had negative effects on staple crop prices. For example, his taxation policies and the levy of tithes on grain could have directly impacted grain prices, making wheat and barley more expensive, especially for the common people.

However, olive oil and wine were typically not as heavily affected by such policies, especially in regions where these products were in high demand for religious rituals (such as the use of wine for the Eucharist). The Papal States and regions in Southern Europe, where olive oil and wine were produced, would have experienced a more stable production of these goods, despite the economic pressures on grain.

Boniface VIII is perhaps most famous for the Unam Sanctam, a papal bull issued in 1302 that asserted the supreme authority of the pope over all temporal rulers. His papacy was marked by conflict with monarchs, particularly King Philip IV of France, who sought to control the Church and its wealth.
