Abstract | The second of a series of sessions on the 'Medieval Papacy, c.500-1500'. This session looks at the papacy in the long 12th century. Paper-a looks at how the papacy interacted with Christendom through its use of envoys, and goes well beyond the chronological brackets of this session. Paper-b reframes the election of Pope Calixtus II through a comparison of the different accounts, focusing on how they were re-written during the Papal Schism of 1130. Paper-c also examines the effect of the 1130 Schism on accounts of a papal election: that of Gelasius II. |
