- Summary
- This text examines the history of monastic exemption in early medieval France. In this era, the popes in Rome became de facto rulers and proprietors of numerous monasteries, establishing a foothold in the emerging business of monastic freedom and protection. The work explains the 'why' and 'how' of this relationship.
