| Abstract | The concept of correction (correctio) was important in the Carolingian and post-Carolingian church as a means of regulating behaviour and observance. Clergy were involved in implementing correction but were also subject to it themselves, usually at the hands of bishops. Bishops also had to regulate the behaviour of regular clergy. The papers in this session examine how correction was implemented by clergy at a local level, whether kings were involved in correcting clergy (and the extent to which this 'clash of cultures' reveals more about the 19th century than the 9th century) and the role of bishops in disciplining inmates of monasteries and the extent to which their role differed from that of lay magnates. |
