Local Churches, Monasteries, and Bishops in León Between the Ninth and Eleventh Centuries (Late Antique and Early Medieval Iberia)

This volume contributes to a deeper understanding of the different forms of ecclesiastical articulation in early medieval Spain.While traditional studies have focused on higher instances of ecclesiastical power, this work offers a bottom-up perspective centred on the local churches and the bonds they established with monasteries and bishops.This approach engages in a reflection on the nature of the diocese in the Early Middle Ages, as well as furthering our knowledge of early medieval local societies and their social dynamics.
