| Abstract | The 13th century was the high point of the so-called 'papal monarchy'. The role of canon law in the creation of that method of government remains hotly disputed, and this session will investigate not only how the papacy interacted with canon law, but also how individual canonists and teachers used and manipulated that law. An underlying question tackled by this session, therefore, is the relationship between the canonists and the papacy at a time when both papal government and the schools were in a state of flux, and how those links affected the development of both institutions. |
