Abstract | In the period after the Gregorian Reform education and legal knowledge became more structured: clergy were deeply involved in this process but were also influenced by it. In this session speakers will look at developments in the activities of the clergy in 12th-century England, beginning with a general overview of their significance and then turning to look at the role of clergy in pastoral care and then at the question of clerical property in canon law. |
