This book chronicles the life and influence of Hincmar, an influential Metropolitan of Rheims in the 9th century. During a period of immense change in the structure of the Catholic Church, Hincmar defended the power and authority of metropolitans against a rising tide of papal influence. Papal authority was on the rise, eager to subordinate metropolitans within a centralized command structure. To bolster their claims, leaders of this movement, such as Pope Nicholas I, leveraged a collection of documents known as the False Decretals, which gave the papacy and the bishops of Rome sweeping, new powers. The author traces the clashes between Hincmar and Nicholas I, including the case of Rothadus, a bishop deposed by Hincmar and reinstated by the Pope. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the factors that led to the shift in the balance of power within the Catholic Church during this period and the significance of Hincmar's efforts to preserve the traditional role of metropolitans.
