Avignon in In High Places
In an alternate where the Great Black Deaths claimed most of the population of Europe, Avignon was very critical European history. It was here that Henri declared himself the Second Son of God and was executed for it. It was also here that his executioners, King Charles V and Pope Urban V were killed in an accident the day after Henri was broken on the wheel.
