Faye Taylor, MA Thesis submitted for examination to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JULY 2012 ii ABSTRACT Despite the centrality of monastic sources to debates about social and political transformation in post-Carolingian Europe, few studies have approached the political and economic status of monasteries and their saints’ cults in this context, to which this thesis offers a comparative approach. Hagiography provides an interesting point of analysis with respect to the proposition of mutation féodale, and more importantly to that of the mutation documentaire and its relation to monastic ‘reform’, which Part I discusses. Parts II and III consider Bobbio and Conques, and their miracula (dedicated to San Colombano and Sainte Foy) within their respective socio-political environments, since the best of the recent scholarship concerning the millennial period has emphasized the specificity of regional experience. At Bobbio the closeness of the king physically and some continuity in royal practices between the tenth and eleventh centuries shaped monastic experience. It directed and sometimes restricted monastic discourse, which maintained an older tradition of general service to the kingdom, although innovations in relic usage helped monastic negotiations with the sovereign. At Conques, the waning of royal control created space for literary and cultic advances that served to bolster the monastery’s position within local power structures. In this landscape older forms of public authority were purposefully minimized and hierarchy and landownership were negotiated between aristocrats, including Sainte Foy at the head of Conques. Whilst the categories of the ‘feudal transformation’ debate can offer a useful framework for the analysis of two very different monasteries and their local societies, the comparison demonstrates that placing monasteries at the centre of our debate is crucial to understanding the documents they produce, and therefore questions the potential that these have to shed light on wider societal change. Concerns over land and autonomy were central to both institutions, although these operated on different conceptual planes, because of different bases of landed patrimony dating back much further than the tenth century. Each monastery negotiated hierarchy and clientele through their miracula and according to local socio-political rules. Therefore, whilst related documentary and cultic transformations were inseparable from socio-political pressures, these were not necessarily pressures simply reacting to mutation féodale, but were formative processes in the direction and shape of social change. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many for help in the research and completion of this thesis. I received generous grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and School of History at the University of Nottingham, as well as travel grants from the AHRC and the Royal Historical Society. I thank wholeheartedly my supervisors Claire Taylor and Ross Balzaretti. Claire, for asking (rhetorically) during my undergraduate degree how the Miracles of Sainte Foy fitted in to the ‘feudal transformation’, and her unfaltering support ever since; likewise Ross, for his searching and concise questions that resulted in interesting new directions for my research. I am also grateful to my examiners, Chris Wickham and Julia Barrow, for their thorough appraisals and helpful suggestions. Several others have helped me along the way, who I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank. Grégory Cattaneo and Alex O’Hara provided useful historiographical insights. Moral support came from many quarters, particularly Stefan Gordon, Ellie Clarke and Simon Quinn, and (in the form of tea, cake, generous hospitality and long chats) from Rachel Middlemass and Theresa Tyers, my compatriots in the thesis adventure. My research abroad was facilitated and made much more enjoyable by the kindness of Kim and Léo Marty, Elisabetta Pastori and Emilie Boube. Roland Viader, Hélène Débax and especially Jean-Loup Abbé at the Université de Toulouse II - Le Mirail were incredibly accommodating. In the last frantic stages, Matthew Phillips and Bryan Taylor helped immensely with proof reading. Further help with formatting and bibliography chores came from Faith Widdowson, Lucy Lynch and Helen Taylor. Jemma Hey’s enthusiasm and generous time sacrifices made it possible to produce the maps herein; I thank her for my newfound love for GIS technologies and the possibilities they offer for medieval history. Of course, all errors are my own. The greatest thanks go to my family, to whom I dedicate the work. My sister Chloe and Ben Albu provided me with a bolthole to escape to, huge amounts of love and encouragement and, recently, my beautiful niece Alice who I look forward to regaling with tales of Sainte Foy’s mischief. My mother and father Helen and Bryan were an incredible support in the practicalities but also in so many other ways, driven by their bottomless patience, generosity and love. I will never be able to repay them, but will attempt to nevertheless. ii CONTENTS ABSTRACT i! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii! ABBREVIATIONS vi! PLATES viii! PART I: INTRODUCTION 1! 1.

    Exploring minor clerics in early medieval Tuscany by Rachel Stone Reti Medievali Rivista, 18, 1 (2017) <http://www.retimedievali.it> Firenze University Press Reti Medievali Rivista, 18, 1 (2017) <http://rivista.retimedievali.it> ISSN 1593-2214 © 2017 Firenze University Press DOI 10.6092/1593-2214/5076 Exploring minor clerics in early medieval Tuscany* by Rachel Stone The article examines minor clerics (clerici) in Carolingian texts. Comparing episcopal capitu- laries from Italy and Francia suggests that clerici played a more prominent role in Italian church life. An analysis of charters from the monastery of Monte Amiata reveals a high proportion of clerici. They appear as a rurally-based group, with varying levels of education, but of some local social standing, and were often mature men with children. The prevalence of such clerici may be related to the northern Italian structure of pievi, and the opportunities these provided for mixed patterns of father-son and uncle-nephew inheritance of church office. The blurring of the lay/clerical divide by such clerici may have particularly worried eleventh-century church reformers coming to Italy from other regions of Western Europe. Il saggio intende fornire una panoramica sui chierici minori nelle fonti di età carolingia, che, a partire dai capitolari episcopali, mostrano un ruolo assai più rilevante in area italica rispetto alle coeve dinamiche osservabili sul suolo francese. Tra le fonti, sono soprattutto le carte – det- tagliatamente analizzate – provenienti dall’archivio del monastero di San Salvatore al Monte Amiata a mostrare una consistente presenza di clerici. Essi appaiono generalmente come un gruppo a forte radicamento rurale, differenziato al proprio interno secondo livelli non omo- genei di educazione e alfabetizzazione, ma di una qualche eminenza sociale in ambito locale e con larga presenza di individui adulti con prole.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
