description In the early fourteenth century, the Pontifical Court of Avignon witnessed a major evolution in its administration and their archiving practices. Among these archives, the account books provide a detailed knowledge of the court’s services and officials, as well as glimpses into daily life. In comparing the organizational structure of these accounts with the reality of expenditure, there is a significant gap between how officials represented the court, that is, as a princely hotel, and the pontifical institution. But it is also this gap in realizing what the papacy had become at that time that gives the court such visibility, with the accounts focusing on officials’ auditing and the recording of significant episodes of curial life. Considering the reclassification of the Apostolic Chamber archives under the pontificate of Innocent VI, it is also possible to identify stakeholders in a court made up of different services and their tendency to mix the management of the court and that of the city of Avignon into a single entity.
