The Rosier (or Roger) family lived in Limousin in central France.[1] Two members of this family became popes:
- Pope Clement VI (1342–1352), born Pierre Roger,[2]
- Pope Gregory XI (1370-1378), born Pierre Roger de Beaufort,[3]
The exact location where Popes Clement VI and Gregory were born is not known with certainty. We know only that they were baptised in a Church of the Roses (French: l'église de Rosiers).
