Extract

In the early years of the fifteenth century, the European universities achieved what was probably the height of their influence within the Western Church, an influence accorded final sanction by their independent representation at the two general councils of Pisa (1409) and Constance (1414-18). Both of these assemblies had been summoned in the hope of terminating the Great Schism, the division of the Latin Church which had erupted with the rival elections of Urban VI and Clement VII as popes in 1378. During the course of the subsequent debates seeking a resolution to the dispute, the universities and their members had taken a prime role in formulating theories intended to find a way out of the dilemma of having two popes, each supposedly legitimate. Their scope for concrete, independent action was, however, limited: whatever their aspirations for a role on the wider stage of the medieval Church, the universities had to exist within the narrower confines of individual political entities, for the most part monarchies, whose rulers had their own conceptions of the appropriate place of scholars in the scheme of things.

The other manuscript which he cites, as containing the identical declaration, is Paris, BN, MS lat. 9788. However, of the two works contained in that manuscript, one is merely a copy of the letter issued by die University of Toulouse in 1402 advocating die restoration of obedience to Pope Benedict XIII (for which see Swanson, Universities, Academics, and the Great Schism, pp. 140-1; also below, pp. 291—4). The other is a fragment, opposing the subtraction of obedience from that pope, presumably dating from c. 1398 to 1402.

8 Deutsche Staatsbibliothek, MS Ham. 527, fol. 167V. A reference to financial support offered by Louis IX—which it is alleged soon dried up—seems to be based on incorrect information. It may be a reference to the clause of the Treaty of Paris of 1229 which established the financial arrangements for payment of the masters, by Count Raymond of Toulouse rather than the Crown, and which was stipulated to last for only ten years anyway. The first explicitly royal privileges for the University date only from 1324: Smidi, University of Toulouse, pp. 32,60-4,79.

Du Bosquet does not go so far as to identify Charles VI as a Christ-figure, but other writers were not so reluctant to see Christ in their king (Barbey, La Fonction royale, p. 122), and, indeed, the political theorizing associated with Charles V seems particularly to have emphasized such an identification, at least at the latent level: Gill, ‘Political theory’, chs 4—5.

34 Deutsche Staatsbibliothek, MS Ham. 527, fol. 167r, drawing on Hostiensis for support: Henrici a Sequsio… Aurea summa, cols 209-15. In fact, Hostiensis also notes that the king of England is anointed on the head (col. 213), and makes no mention of the holy oil of France. More significant would seem to be the implications of anointing on the head: earlier (col. 210) he had pointed out that this was a papal prerogative because the pope represented Christ; anointing with oil rather than chrism stressed the difference between papal and royal authority. On the Sainte Ampoulle, Krynen, Idéal du prince, pp. 220-3. it has to be emphasized that the stress was on the sacrality conferred by the anointing, and not the constitutive effect of a coronation mediated by ecclesiastical authority: the king therefore retained his independence of ecclesiastical (especially papal) claims to oversight, and his imperial authority over the national Church: ibid., pp. 229, 236-9.

The tract on the whole is highly royalist in tone, and although it is formulated in a general sense to make its arguments applicable to all kings, there can be no doubting that the perceptions of royal authority over, and status within, the Church are particularly applicable to the kings of France.
