medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I believe it is a record as was the extremely lengthy (kingly) reign of Louis XIV, 60 years more or less if memory serves me well.
RE: Bill East's comment " Around here, priests don't put
crosses anywhere in their signature, and I hadn't come across the
custom before..." abbots also have that privilege, at least in the USA, but not, as far as I know, priests.
MG
> Hugh the Great (d. 1109) Hugh, born in 1024, became a monk at Cluny
in 1039 and abbot in 1049. He served as abbot of the massive Cluniac
confederation for 60 years
goodness.
i didn't realise this.
a 60 year reign must be something of a record, i should think.
