The Cardinal's court, whether in Rome or Avignon functioned in a very similar fashion. The household was filled with men who were looking for support from their Cardinal and favour at the papal court. This might take the form of being granted the income from a vicarage or a salaried position in the papal administration. The buildings would routinely incorporate large kitchens and stables as well as living quarters and in the more worthy courts, a substantial library. To manage his court the Cardinal needed a sizable entourage of men to act as butlers, house keepers, librarians and stable lads. The more senior positions would be filled by clerics, the artisanal ones by townsmen and peasants.
