Episode 1 of 1
Annexation of Avignon by Revolutionary France
- When
- 1791
- Where
- Avignon, left bank of the Rhône
Papal control of Avignon ended in 1791 when, amid the French Revolution, the city became part of France.
The sources record that papal control of Avignon persisted until 1791, when during the French Revolution the city became part of France. This ended the Papal States' possession of Avignon. The supplied passages give only the year; the specific date of 14 September 1791 asserted in the legacy row is not corroborated and is therefore flagged as unverified.
