Luchas de poder en la Galia merovingia: oposición y confrontación entre reinas y obispos

Abstract

The Merovingian queens, particularly the most powerful ones, could bring together situations of collaboration and confrontation with bishops of their respective kingdoms. In this contribution we will analyse the latter, addressing the different forms of confrontation that arose and their resolution, but also examining the determinism of such episodes in strengthening, or possibly weakening, the power of the Merovingian female rulers.
