Notes: His Holiness, Pope Benedict XII, was born Jacques Fournier, near Pamiers, in France. Unlike his two immediate predecessors, Clement V and John XXII, who were, respectively, of noble and burger origins, the Holy Father is the son of a miller. A kinsman who was a monk early noticed that the young boy was intelligent and quick-witted and arranged for him to secure a clerical education. He rose rapidly in the church, becoming a Cardinal in 1310. His Holiness is quite devout, and has dedicated himself to the organization of a new Crusade to rid the Holy Land of the Infidel.
