thesmellypocket 1842 Share Posted October 5, 2019 THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF KLAGENFURT In 1216, one of the final acts of Pope Innocent III was to authorise the Dominican Order. This was to have vast and unintended consequences for Klagenfurt, which was considered to be one of the mostly bad run and corrupt Archdioceses in Christendom. Whilst the pews grew gradually empty, in heart if not physically, the Archbishop and the great monastics grew fat and rich, barely, if at all, living by their various rules. Learning and literacy were rarely seen in the country, with some key clergymen, it is said, not having enough Latin learning to read the Vulgate Bible. There was even a scandal of sodomy among a priory of monks, who were de-frocked and flogged for their iniquity by the new...Pro-Domincan Archbishop in 1256. Archbishop Dominic Donnaruma, an eccentric and brilliant Italian accounted by many as a Saint, invited the Dominicans over in large numbers. Ungiven to compromise, by fervent and truthful investigation he purged the Archdiocese of corruption, and filled the pews once more. Devotion to the most Holy Rosary exploded. In 1277, the Pope even approved a new Dominican-run university which has since gained a reputation alike to Oxford or Paris. This was a religious revival on a national scale, and it was one man and his favour for a new religious Order that had made it so. About a century later, a new Dominic confronts a different problem. The new Archbishop of the same name as his predecessor knows that the learning of the priests, monks and nuns of the country is very great indeed. Reams of brilliant scholastic treatises flood the shelves, whilst bold new ideas and debates take place at the University of St. Dominic. But popular devotion has grown stagnant. Corruption and hypocrasy once again slowly grips the Church. And now the peace is threatened by an uncertain succession. Dominic knows he must act with a like courage to his namesake. A Klagfurtian at heart, and a choleric not given to compromise, Dominic is driven toward the preservation of peace, the flourishing of learning, and the revival of piety. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endovelicus 610 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Prince-Abbacy of San Anselmo PINK João#4069 HISTORIA DE RELIGIOSI ANSELMINI Started by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town grew around the lonely hermit as shepherds and farmers seeked his holy wisdom, as well as defend themselves from country bandits in the hillock where the saint seeked refuge. Saint Anselm soon found himself with various disciples whom he took under his wing and thus made his own monastic rule, mixing heavy asceticism with a semi-cloistered lifestyle, with the Saint’s motto being: “Urbis Manemus, in Coelo Speramus”, In the City we dwell, in Heaven we hope. This mixture of asceticism with urbanism led to, in the 1000s, after the town of San Anselmo had been raided by various roaming bandit groups, the town folks throwing off the yoke of the Signoria and choosing the Abbot as the local lord. Dom Idelfonse, 5th Abbot of the Order of Saint Anselm, became the Lord San Anselmo and the surrounding pastoral fields. Using the Monastery’s defenses and by contracting mercenaries the Monastery proved a worthy defender of the local people. The Anselmites’ influence quickly spread across the region previously devoid of any strong central authority, with the local mannorial and pastoral lords accepting the monastic rule. During the Rupertian War of Unification, in the 1100s, the Anselmites supported the cause of the Prince, sending some meagre troops for the war effort as well as sending some monetary aid. Being one of the few eastern lords to support Rupert, the now King gave some parcels of land to the otherwise impoverished holdings of the Abbot, as well as legally recognising the Anselmites as lords of the local lands, elevating the Abbey into a Princely-Abbey. This new growth of land, however, meant that new lords were now under the abbot. Being displeased with this arrangement, in 1197, the northern nobility raised their hosts, fighting a skirmish with the Abbot’s militia near Guilianno’s Well. The battle was inconclusive but with both faction’s financial situation in peril they agreed to sign an agreement, the Abbot would preside over a new Signoria which would vote on various monetary matters. This Signoria was made up of the petty mannorial nobility and the Bonshommes, rich peasants and merchants given access to the Signoria by the Abbot. The Order of Saint Anselm the Lesser is not in particularly good relations with the Klangenfurtian church hierarchs, Saint Anselm’s Rule did not sit well with some past Archbishops, who sought to bring the abbey under their control as well as to bring the order’s Regula more in line with Dominican and Benedictine standards. The Anselmites fought against this, even recurring to foreign Bishops to confer holy orders and to tonsure future monks. ABATI DE ANSELMINI Abbots: St Anselm the Lesser - 947-964 Dom Guilemme - 964-973 Dom Anselm II the Younger - 973-991 Dom Yyves the Franconian - 991-995 Dom Idelfonse - 995-1013 Dom Anselm III the Drunk - 1013-1013 [Deposed] Blessed Bernard the Goodly - 1013-1016 [Martyred] Dom Hadriano - 1016-1028 Dom Hughes - 1028-1033 Dom Idelfonse II the Old - 1033-1066 Dom Idelfonse III the Third One - 1066-1079 Dom Ulfo - 1079-1082 Dom Bruno the Benedictine - 1082-1086 [Deposed] Dom Anselm IV - 1086-1087 [Poisoned] Period of unrest which led to no abbot being elected - 1087-1093 Dom Anselm V the Hopeful - 1093-1111 Dom Giacommo - 1111-1127 Dom Bernard II - 1127-1140 Dom Reinhard the Styrian - 1140-1151 Dom Ulfo II - 1151-1159 Ulfo II officially recognised as Prince-Abbot: Prince-Abbots: Dom Ulfo II - 1159-1160 Dom Carmino - 1160-1164 Dom Richard the Anglian - 1164-1188 Dom Gianni - 1188-1204 [Signoria Re-established in 1197] Dom Bonifacio the Senile - 1204-1204 St Frederico the Godly - 1204-1243 Dom Domingo the Dominican - 1243-1246 [Deposed] Dom Hernando the Child - 1246-1305 [Elected as a new-born, most of reign enacted by the Signoria] Dom Enrico the Unlucky - 1305-1306 [Killed by the Signoria] Coup of the Signoria, monastery is disbanded until being reinstated in 1325 - 1306-1325 Dom Anselm VI - 1325-1330 Dom Gianni II - 1330-1337Dom Bernard II the Boastful - 1337-1342 Dom Guerard - 1342-1356 Dom Frederico II the Boring - 1356-1366 Dom Johan the Poxy - 1366-1377 Dom Reinhard II - 1377-1379 Dom Anselm VII - 1379- CIVITAS SAN ANSELMINIENSIS THE FORTIFIED MONASTERY TOWN OF SAINT ANSELM San Anselmo is a small town of set around the monastery that bears the same name as the town. Began by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town quickly grew as the hillock was defensible against the country bandits. As more and more people came into the hillock and surrounding plains. As the city grew it began holding various leatherworkers, a few smiths, some taverns and a couple of parish churches. The real economic boon of the town, however, is the annual pilgrimage in June, where pilgrims come from many parts of Klagenfurt in order to pray near the relics of Saint Anselm. Every June thousands of pilgrims come and go, leaving plenty of coin as they leave donations to the monastery, they buy food, and sometimes, as they buy women. Other than the businesses associated with the pilgrimages, San Anselmo boasts of a thriving leatherworking industry, as every year at the start of Autumn, the various cattle ranchers, be they freemen or serfs of various noble families, bringing their cattle to San Anselmo to be slaughtered. As the meat is cured, salted and traded away, the leather stays, being cured, tanned and made into various products. Alongside all the economic factors San Anselmo is the political and religious center of the region, being where the Palazzo de Signoria is located and where the Abbey of Saint Anselm the Lesser is located. This makes it the most important urban center in the region. That being said, San Anselmo is still one of the smallest urban centers of Klagenfurt, with little over than 10.000 inhabitants, being the poorest also. The remaining 80.000 are spread across the Prince-Abbacy, with 5.000 living inside the walled port of San’Angelo in the south.
