In September 1362, Grimoard was apostolic nuncio in Italy when Pope Innocent VI died. Exactly where he was when the news reached him summoning him to Avignon is unknown. Naples is just a guess; other possibilities are Florence and Lombardy.Others indicate he was actually in Florence when the Pope died: The 'Third Life' of Urban V, by Petrus de Herentals, says: apud Lombardiam existente in legationem ('while serving on his Legation in Lombardy'). Baluze (1693), I, p. 413.
