medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Greetings to all who may know something about canon law.
I have an Icelandic case in which a bishop has donated tithes for the support of a newly founded monastery. This apparently goes on for a century or two until a later bishop claims them back.
The final decision made is that the original bishop could only donate them during his own period of office, not bind subsequent bishops by his decision. Does anyone know of any canon law (or parallel examples) that would bear on the case?) The tithes would have been granted some time in the 12th century, the grand cancelled in the late 13th - early 14th century.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Meg
