This second volume by Graham Loud focuses on two key centres of the
south Italian church in the central Middle Ages. The first section
concentrates on the 'golden age' of the abbey of Montecassino,
during the 11th and 12th centuries, when it was at the height of
its influence and three of its monks became popes. The studies seek
to place the abbey in its context, examining its relations with the
papacy, Byzantium, and the local nobility. The second part deals
with Benevento and the abbey of St Sophia, and looks at its
development and administration, as well as the tensions that arose
from its position as a papal enclave within the Kingdom of Sicily.
Based on extensive archival research, the volume as a whole
presents a fresh and original insight into the society of southern
Italy from the coming of the Normans to its conquest by Charles of
Anjou.
