medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Most Learned Ones, I am trying to find scholarly literature on the development of the authority of archbishops and metropolitan churches, between the fifth and the eleventh centuries. I am especially interested in discovering when the metropolitan church came to be known as the "mother church" of its province (and, for that matter, when the bishop's church came to be known as the "mother church" of its diocese). I suspect that this happened around the eighth or ninth century, but I am drawing a blank in all the usual bibliographies/reference works. Suggestions?
