Eight Saints, War of the

A war between Florence and the papacy over the secular power of the papacy in central Italy, fought 1375–78. The war ended in compromise, set out in the Peace of Tivoli, in 1378. The threat the war posed to the security of Rome prompted Gregory XI to end the papacy's 70-year exile in Avignon, and so helped ended the Babylonian Captivity.

The ‘saints’ referred to were the eight officials who exacted war taxes from the clergy, here confused with the Eight of War (otto della guerra), who conducted Florence's military operations.
