Abstract | Through narrative and diplomatic sources this workshop will analyse links between city authorities in the Anglo-Norman world. These links come from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction over monastic houses and parishes. In Ely, the bishop was the protector of significant hospitals, while in Normandy the struggle between the duke/aristocracy, canons and bishops for the administration of the parishes will be shown. Conflicts also raged at Rouen in 1073 between the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Ouen and the archbishop. These examples provide an opportunity to examine the influence of the bishops in the cities, and the manifestation of their power. |
