In the order of Popes, next unto Clement the sixth, an. 1353. §1353succeeded pope Innocent the sixth. In the first year of which Pope, two Friars Minors, or Franciscans,1 were put to death at Avignon, for certain opinions, that seemed to the Pope and his Cardinals erroneous: whose names were one, Johannes Rochetailada, or Hayabalus, who being a Friar minorite, began first in time of Pope Clement the sixth, Anno 1345. to preach, that the Church of Rome was the whore of Babylon,2 and the Pope with his Cardinals to be very Antichrist, &c. In the mean time of his accusation, it happened, that a certain priest coming before the Pope, cast the Popes bull down before his feet, saying: Lo here take the Bull unto you, for it doeth me no good at all. I have laboured now these three years with it, and yet cannot get my right. The pope hearing this, caused the poor Priest to be scourged, and imprisoned with the Friar. Of Fryer Rachetailada, Froissart maketh mention in his first volume, chap. 211. and saith, that Pope Innocent the sixth held him in prison in the Castle of Baignour, for showing that many things should fall on the Prelates of the Church for great superfluity and pride then used amongest them.
