Description
Summary:The Council of Frankfurt in 794 was a demonstration of Charlemagne’s undisputable primacy as rex and sacerdos over papacy. Charlemagne not only dominated the discussions of the council, he also determined essentially the council’s decisions. However, already under his son Louis the Pious, the leading influence of the Frankish rulers on councils declined. Although the Emperor convened a synod in Paris in 829, the synod was held without the Emperor’s presence and presented its own results to the ruler, including the demand to enforce the decisions of the council. This illustrates the grave transition that had taken place in under 40 years: The emperor who had occupied a leadership role in the council of Frankfurt in 794 acted merely as a heeler in the Synod of Paris in 829. The following contribution aims at explaining this deep change in the Emperor’s role in councils and at embedding this development in the historical context.
