"parish priests" held court?? am i right in assuming that this "intrusion" more or less began with the crusade against the Albists? or were there other examples of it, perhaps even pre-dating the mendicants? i forget when we start getting Eyetalians being introduced into the chapter at Chartres (and, presumably, elsewhere) --before 1250, i believe-- and i've always just assumed that that phenomenon represents an "intrusion" of papal power into what was certainly, "traditionally," a very local institution (the Chapter of Chartres), personnel-wise. there should be a study of "foreigners" in French cathedral chapters in the 13th c., but i've never come across it. have to ask a reference lieberrian, i suppose... >The crusade issue within Europe is a messy one too, as you well know. well, it certainly seems to have been "messy" from the point of view of poor Ray of Toulouse. c > From: "Christopher Crockett" <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 8:50:33 AM > Subject: Re: [M-R] Theft of metal from UK churches > > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > From: Thomas Izbicki <[log in to unmask]> > > > There were tribunals.
