Boniface VIII (1 maio 1297 ano – 18 ago 1303 ano)

Descrição:

He deemed all secular people enemies of the clergy and declared papacy a universal rule, more important than any secular one. The pope was supposed to substitute Christ on Earth.

His ambitions were stifled, however, after a conflict with the French king, Philip IV the Fair, who imprisoned the pope. Shortly thereafter the pope died in captivity.
