The prominent role of monasteries in the early medieval period is explored in detail in this study of the relations between monasteries and the nobility in Lotharingia in the ninth and tenth centuries. The book focuses on three renowned monasteries during this period of monastic reform in Europe. The author challenges accepted views of the monasteries' role and explores the complex links with kings, bishops, and noble families which gave monasteries a central place in politics and society.
