Pope Gregory X left Orvieto on 5 June 1273, and arrived in Lyons in the middle of November 1273. [26] Not all of the cardinals followed him. Pope Gregory notes in a letter to King Edward dated 29 November 1273 that Cardinal Riccardo Annibaldi and Cardinal Giovanni Orsini were still in Rome and had been ordered to find a secure place of ...
