Papal Bulla Circa, 14th century AD. Lead, 37mm x 4mm, 49.6g. A scarce papal seal issued during the short Rule of Pope Urban V. URB /ANVS/ PP V. Facing bust of St Peter and St Paul, SPA SPE above. Pope Urban V, 1310 – 19 December 1370, born Guillaume de Grimoard. He was the head of the Catholic Church from 28 September 1362 until his death in 1370 and was also a member of the Order of Saint Benedict. He was the only Avignon pope to be beatified.Even after his election as pontiff, he continued to follow the Benedictine Rule, living simply and modestly. His habits did not always gain him supporters who were used to lives of affluence. Urban V pressed for reform throughout his pontificate and also oversaw the restoration and construction of churches and monasteries. One of the goals he set himself upon his election to the Papacy was the reunion of the Eastern and Western Churches. He came as close as some of his predecessors and successors, but did not succeed.
