medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From the Gregorian Decretals:
Book I title 9 c. 15, Gregory IX, Dilecti filii = the decretal says an "exempt" abbot cannot resign without the pope's permission. This follows several decretals about episcopal resignation & reignation of benefices. c. 9 Innocent III, Ad supplicationem, permits bishops to resign with the pope's permission, esp. when the bishop is in danger of death.

Could I extend this question to bishops?
I have an example of one incapacitated by ill health - the problem
was, how to appoint his successor while he was still alive.

Dear list,
could anyone help me in the following case: I am looking for voluntary
resignations of abbots from their monastic office (i.e. not due to
incapacity, illness, crimes etc.) preferably pre-11th century, i.e.
pre-Gregorian Reform. There is of course the case of Paschasius
Radbertus of Corbie around 850, and I am wondering whether we can come
up with similar events.
