| Σύνοψη: | In sixteenth-century rural parishes, property and housing were allocated by a process beset with machinations. Because pastors did not belong to local kinship networks and lacked permanent support groups in the villages, they were disadvantaged in the scramble for housing. As a result, some pastors became discontented or even left their posts, leading scholars to conclude that the Reformation floundered in many rural parishes. Although maneuvers over property and housing adversely affected the development of the rural Reformation, historians should not infer from the pastors' privation that parishioners did not accept the Reformation. Pastoral deprivation is often better explained as an unintended consequence of how villagers resolved conflicts over property and issues of status. To overcome their structural isolation and to secure suitable housing, some pastors manipulated the visitation process, impacting how the visitation transcripts were recorded. This further complicates connections made between the Reformation's success and descriptions of the pastors' property. |
