This important study of episcopal office and clerical identity in a
socially and culturally dynamic region of medieval Europe examines
the construction and representation of episcopal power and
authority in the archdiocese of Reims during the sometimes
turbulent century between 1050 and 1150. Drawing on a wide range of
diplomatic, hagiographical, epistolary and other narrative sources,
John S. Ott considers how bishops conceived of, and projected,
their authority collectively and individually. In examining
episcopal professional identities and notions of office, he
explores how prelates used textual production and their physical
landscapes to craft historical narratives and consolidate local and
regional memories around ideals that established themselves as not
only religious authorities but also cultural arbiters. This study
reveals that, far from being reactive and hostile to cultural and
religious change, bishops regularly grappled with and sought to
affect, positively and to their advantage, new and emerging
cultural and religious norms.
