Editing Pope Urban V (section)

===Third mission===
Cardinal [[Gil Álvarez Carrillo de Albornoz]] had been sent to Italy in 1353, to bring under control the notorious [[Giovanni di Vico]] of Viterbo, as well as the [[House of Malatesta|Malatesta]] of Rimini and the [[Ordelaffi]] family of [[Forlì]]. In 1360 Abbot Guillaume was sent to assist him by dealing with Archbishop Visconti's nephew and successor, [[Bernabò Visconti]]. Their confrontation was so hostile and threatening that the Abbot left immediately and reported back to Pope Innocent the treachery of his vassal. The Pope sent him back to Italy immediately, but happily the utter defeat of Visconti's army which was besieging Bologna by Cardinal Albornoz eased the situation considerably.<ref>Chaillan, pp. 18–19.</ref> Nonetheless, immediately after he was elected pope, Grimoard excommunicated Bernabò Visconti.<ref>Gibbs, p. 170. Gibbs retails the story that Bernabò Visconti had forced Abbot Grimoard to eat the Pope's letter to him. On the excommunication: {{cite book|author=George L.

The reason for his retirement to Auriol is not far to seek.  The plague was raging in southern France again in 1361 and 1362.   Cardinal Pierre des Près died on 16 May 1361; Cardinal Petrus de Foresta, died on 7 June 1361; Cardinal Guillaume Farinier, died on 17 June 1361; Cardinal Guillaume Court, O.Cist., died on  12 June 1361; Cardinal Petrus Bertrandi, died on 13 July 1361; Cardinal Jean de Caraman, died on 1 August 1361; Cardinal Bernard de la Tour, died on 7 August 1361; Cardinal Francesco degli Atti, died on 25 August 1361; and Cardinal Pierre de Cros died in September 1361.<ref>Matteo Villani, ''Cronica''  Liber X. capitolo LXXI, pp. 366–367 Dragomanni.
