Between the reigns of Clovis and Charlemagne (AD 511-768) at least eighty councils assembled, often on royal command, to discuss issues of concern to the episcopal and clerical attendees. Their published canons were intended to communicate ecclesiastical policy in the Frankish regnum. However, scholars have paid comparatively slight attention to the institution responsible for this body of legislation. This book remedies this lacuna by delineating the functions and modus operandi of the Frankish church council as an administrative body.Medieval law and its practice ;v. 6.Councils and synodsFranceHistoryFranceChurch historyTo 987Councils and synodsHistory.262/.524409021Halfond Gregory I1099385MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785138603321Archaeology of Frankish Church Councils, AD 511-7683767568UNINA
