1389
Events:
- Geoffrey II de Charny plans to resume public displays of the Shroud. The Avignon Pope of the time, Clement VII (Robert of Geneva), is a relative of his, so he easily obtains the appropriate permission from the papal legate.
Comment:
In the permission, a condition is made, to avoid controversy, that the cloth should only be referred to as a 'representation’ of the Shroud; however, Bishop d’Arcis states explicitly that it is being quietly rumoured that this is the real Shroud.
