Starts the history of the Papal State in Provence

Thank you for reviewing the history of Avignon as not part of France until 1791. I am doing genealogy research of my French ancestors and discovered that the Vaucluse was also part of the Papal State - called the Comtat Venassin- not France - until 1791. I have been trying to find the history of the life in the Comtat from 1570s forward. I would love to see a podcast about the Comtat Vennaissin.
