Download date: 26. Nov. 2020 Canon Law in Post-Imperial Gaul Patrick Griffith A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy King’s College London 2018 Abstract This dissertation traces the transition of ‘canon law’, the episcopate’s own legislation on matters of ecclesiastical organisation, clerical discipline and select aspects of lay religious activity, from the context of a functioning Roman Empire and into the successor kingdoms, which dominated Gaul in the fifth and sixth centuries. Ecclesiastical canons developed in the early fourth century from the ‘internal’ rules of minority Christian communities, and by the fifth had matured into organisational and disciplinary norms deeply intertwined with Empire’s own institutions and legal system. This dissertation examines the effect the ‘ending’ of the imperial system had upon canon law in Gaul. It seeks to reintegrate canon law into the extensive historiographical debates over the utility of Late-Antique normative legislation, as a source capable of illuminating the myriad social, economic and institutional transformations underway in Gallic society. It will attempt to highlight and above all to explain changes in the form, content and application of conciliar canons, the key component of canon law in this context, in terms which emphasize the shifting institutional and legal-cultural landscape. In particular, this dissertation will argue that the period c.570 – 614 saw the manifestation of an ecclesiastically-driven legal culture, which arose from the relatively unique matrix of political and institutional conditions presented by Merovingian Gaul. It will also seek to highlight previously undervalued historical contingencies, such as the impact upon legal culture of ‘Arian’ rulership in the first generation of Gallic successor states, and the complex interplay between political fragmentation on the one hand and the survival of ecclesiastical institutions and legislation which were intrinsically pan-Mediterranean. 2 I would like to thank my supervisors, Professors Peter Heather and David D’Avray, the London Arts and Humanities Partnership, Professors Stefan Esders and Stefan Rebenich, who were generous hosts and interlocutors in Berlin and Bern respectively, Professors Catherine Cubitt and Caroline Humfress, who agreed to examine this dissertation, and finally, for their fathomless support and love, Edith and my parents, Jane and John. 3 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Introduction 7 Dissertation structure 29 Chapter One: Canon Law in the Roman Empire 33 1.A: The evolution of ‘canon law’ 34 1.B: Canon law and Empire 47 1.C The ‘application’ of canons 62 Imperial and inter-provincial contexts 62 Provincial contexts. 68 Conclusions 74 Chapter Two: Imperial Fragmentation, Successor-Kingdom Formation and Canon Law c.400 - 536 76 2.A Imperial crises and ecclesiastical legislation 82 2.B Successor kingdoms and canon law 96 2.C Christianisation and property 127 Conclusions 132 Chapter Three: Gallic Canon Law c.400 - 536 134 3.A The impact of balkanisation 134 3.B The function of canon law 151 3.C The application of canons 163 Conclusions 175 Chapter Four: Gallic Canon Law c.537 - 614 177 4.A: Late-sixth century canonical legislation 179 Conciliar judgments and ‘transactional instruments’ 192 4.B Royal Merovingian legislation and canon law 204 4.C The application of canons 212 Episcopal institutional integrity 221 The Nuns’ Revolt. 226 Conclusions 234 Chapter Five: Explaining Change in Canonical Legislation, c. 537 – 614 237 5.A Royal power 237 5.B Teilreiche dynamics 244 5.C Shifting institutional and legal landscape 260 5.D Relations with Rome 269 Conclusions 276 Conclusions 278 Appendix one: sixth-century Gallic councils 290 Appendix two: references to Rome in fifth- and sixth-century Gallic conciliar acta 292 Appendix three: Gallic conciliar subscriptions 293 Bibliography 302 4 Abbreviations Brev.

Note on quotations Unfortunately, due to constraints of space, it has not been possible to include verbatim quotations of all legislation and non-legislative sources. I have included text from the most essential laws and canons where possible, but have been forced to summarize in many instances. For most non-legal texts, for example Gregory of Tour’s History, I have opted to quote from Latin editions, since my argument often involves highlighting parallels in terminology between contemporaneous legislative and literary sources. Merovingian royal legislation, canons, epistles and the works of Gregory of Tours can be accessed at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica site: [http://www.dmgh.de]. 6 Introduction In the spacious, modernist Haus Potsdammer Straße, located in the Prussian State Library in Berlin’s KulturForum, is stored an eighth-century manuscript, the Codex Remensis. 1 Its folios preserve one of roughly eleven compilations of canon law, (norms which governed religion and ‘the Church’, see below), identified as having been produced in sixth- century Gaul.2 Most of the ‘rules’ contained within the Collection were generated by church councils of varying sizes, held at locations spanning the Mediterranean Basin over the two centuries preceding the compilation of the collection. They are interspersed with other assorted materials, including interpretations of ecclesiastical law authored by popes, legislation issued by Gothic kings, a definition of faith, an embellished list of Gallic provinces and an edict of the Frankish King Chlothar II (r.584-629), issued shortly after a great church council at Paris in 614, whose canons are listed beneath. The manuscript has been damaged in places by water and rot, whose obscuring effects have been substantially worsened in parts by the addition of a reactive agent, presumably applied in an attempt to reveal underlying script.3 Unfortunately, the folios worst affected bear the sole surviving copy of Edictum Chlotharii, of which only 18 fragmentary clauses 1 Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Phill.

  • Warfare and Society in the Barbarian West, 450–900
    WARFARE AND SOCIETY IN THE BARBARIAN WEST, 450–900 Warfare was an integral part of early medieval life. It had a character of its own and was neither a pale shadow of Roman military practice nor an insignificant precursor to the warfare of the central Middle Ages. This book recovers its distinctiveness, looking at warfare in a rounded context in the British Isles and western Europe between the end of the Roman Empire and the break-up of the Carolingian Empire. The era was one of great changes in the practice of war. Guy Halsall relates warfare to many aspects of medieval life, economy, society and politics. He examines the raising and organisation of early medieval armies and looks at the conduct of campaigns. The survey includes the equipment of warriors and the horrific experience of battle as well as an analysis of medieval fortifications and siege warfare. Warfare and Society in the Barbarian West uses historical and archaeological evidence in a rigorous and sophisticated fashion. It stresses regional variations but also places Anglo-Saxon England in the mainstream of the military developments in this era. Guy Halsall is lecturer in medieval history at the University of York. He has published widely on the social history and archaeology of Merovingian Gaul and on violence in early medieval society, including Settlement and Social Organisation.

The central argument is that feud was a method that Anglo-Saxons used to understand and settle conflict, and that it was a tool kings used to enhance their power. The first part of this study examines the use of fæhð in Old English documents, including laws and Beowulf, to demonstrate that fæhð referred to feuds between parties marked by reciprocal acts of retaliation.

How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

  • Pope Leo of Bourges, Clerical Immunity and the Early Medieval Secular Charles West1 at First Glance, to Investigate the Secular
    Pope Leo of Bourges, clerical immunity and the early medieval secular Charles West1 At first glance, to investigate the secular in the early Middle Ages may seem to be wilfully flirting with anachronism. It is now widely agreed that the early medieval political order was constructed neither against nor in opposition to the Church, but rather that the Church, or ecclesia, largely constituted that order.2 This would seem to leave little early medieval scope for the secular, understood in conventional terms as the absence of religion (and moreover often associated with modernity).3 This position is broadly reflected in the recent historiography, which focuses either on Augustine’s short-lived notion of the secular in Late Antiquity, or on the role of Gregorian Reform in beginning a slow secularisation of political authority.4 These separate approaches are spared from intersecting by the early medieval half- millennium which is presented, as so often, as either too late or too early for key developments. However, in recent years, the argument has been forcefully made across a range of fields that, far from being a neutral or universal category, the secular is in reality ‘a historically-produced idea’, and one that moreover encodes a disguised theology.5 As a consequence, ‘to tell a story 1 This paper is based on research carried out on a project funded by the AHRC 2014-16.
