1303- OK so, Pope Boniface VIII has not really been the French's favorite person ever since he wrote the bull Unam sanctam last year. Boniface's attempt to establish the papacy as the dominant spiritual and temporal authority definitely upset the French.
Our good King Albert decided to try working with the Pope in order to actually be crowned Emperor. Everything looked pretty good, until Philip IV of France set some people to de-pope Boniface, and although he was rescued, Boniface died just last week. We get so close and still no Emperor.
