The rise of Christianity to the dominant position it held in the
Middle Ages remains a paradoxical achievement. Early Christian
communities in Gaul had been so restrictive that they sometimes
persecuted misfits with accusations of heresy. Yet by the 15th
century, Gallic aristocrats were becoming bishops to enhance their
prestige; and by the sixth century, Christian relic cults provided
the most comprehensive idiom for articulating values and
conventions. To strengthen its appeal, Christianity had absorbed
the ideologies secular authority already familiar in Gallic
society. This is a picture of Gaul in late Roman and early medieval
times.
