Een paus in de geschiedenis #6

The sixth entry in Daedalus's "Een paus in de geschiedenis" series brings us Pope Clement V and the sacrifice of the Templars, rendered in rich, painterly detail by cover artist Ugo Pinson. The cover sets a striking scene: a white-cloaked Templar knight kneels in supplication before an enthroned, red-robed pope surrounded by a solemn assembly of clergy and courtiers in a grand cathedral interior. Written by France Richemond and Frank Vanzeer with art by Germano Giorgiani, this 2024 album promises a compelling look at one of medieval history's most charged confrontations between ecclesiastical power and a proud warrior order.
