medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture As I started ruminating on early legislation regarding clergy (which may or may not have been ecclesiastical councils, could in fact have been in 'secular' law codes?) I have another vague recollection about provisions concerning 'free' and 'unfree' priests in the early 'barbarian kingdoms'. Does anyone have knowledge of the sources for this? Thanks in advance, Meg ________________________________________ From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Cormack, Margaret Jean [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 11:00 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [M-R] inherited priesthood medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings all! Some time in my early teaching days I remember running across an early church council (in Spain, France?) which said that only sons of priests could become priests. I have been racking my brains for the reference. Can anyone help?
