Chrodegang of Metz (c. 712-766) was a leading figure of the late
Merovingian and early Carolingian Church. Born to one of the
principal aristocratic families in Austrasia, he served as
referendary of Charles Martel, and was appointed bishop of Metz in
the 740s. As bishop, Chrodegang became one of the foremost
churchmen in Francia, chairing councils, founding monasteries, and
beginning a reform of the lives of the canons of the Metz
cathedral. This book is a major study in the English language on
Chrodegang, examining his preoccupation with the creation of
communities of faith and concord modelled on the early Church. It
explores his attempts to unite the Frankish episcopacy, his rule
for the cathedral clergy in Metz - the Regula canonicorum - and his
introduction of new liturgical practices that sought to transform
his see into a hagiopolis, a holy city which provided a model for
later Carolingian reform.
