"Boniface VIII: A Controversial Pontiff Caught in the Crossfire" Emperor Albert I of Habsburg (1255-1308) studying the map of France at the time of the conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France. The clash between these powerful figures would shape history. In a shocking turn of events, Sciarra Colonna slapped Pope Boniface VIII across the face during the infamous Anagni Attack in 1303. This act symbolized a deep-rooted animosity and defiance towards papal authority. The engraving from 1842 immortalizes that fateful moment when Sciarra Colonna's hand met Boniface VIII's cheek, forever etching their confrontation into history books. Even in his official portraits, Pope Boniface VIII exudes an air of authority and determination. His stern gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to upholding papal power amidst turbulent times. The pontifical clothes worn by Boniface VIII and other cardinals were not just symbols of status but also representations of their divine connection to God. These garments held immense significance within religious circles. A sculpture dating back to Boniface VIII's reign captures his likeness with remarkable detail, showcasing his prominent features and dignified expression as he led the Catholic Church through challenging years. A seal from this era serves as a tangible relic linking us directly to Pope Boniface VIII's rule—a small yet powerful testament to his influence over ecclesiastical matters during this tumultuous period. Within the walls of Anagni lies a room known as "the slapping room, " where Sciarra Colonna struck at Papal authority on that fateful day in September 1303. This haunting photograph transports us back to that pivotal moment in history. Philip IV, known as Le Bel, burned Pope Boniface VIIIs' papal bubble on the scaffold—an act intended to challenge papal supremacy and assert the king's authority over religious matters.
