Pope Clement V (; c. 1264 – 20 April 1314), born
Raymond Bertrand de Got (also occasionally spelled
de Guoth and
de Goth), was
Pope from 5 June 1305 to his death in 1314. He is remembered for suppressing the order of the
Knights Templar and allowing the execution of many of its members, and as the Pope who moved the
Curia from Rome to
Avignon, ushering in the period known as the
Avignon Papacy.
