Church history
the noble provost Geroch of Reichersberg in Bavaria, who died
in A.D. 1169 (§ 102, 5) and the canon Norbert, subsequently
archbishop of Magdeburg (§ 98, 2), are deserving of special
mention.--In the 13th century in England =Robert Grosseteste=
distinguished himself as a prelate of great nobility and
force of character. After being chancellor of Oxford he became
bishop of Lincoln, energetically reforming many abuses in his
diocese, and persistently contending against any form of papal
encroachment. He died in A.D. 1253.[282]
§ 97.5. =The Pataria of Milan.=--Nowhere during the 11th century
were simony, concubinage and priests’ marriages more general
than among the Lombard clergy, and in no other place was such
determined opposition offered to Hildebrand’s reforms. At the
head of this opposition stood Guido, archbishop of Milan, whom
Henry III. deposed in A.D. 1046. Against the papal demands,
he pressed the old claims of his chair to autonomy (§ 46, 1)
and renounced allegiance to Rome. The nobles and the clergy
supported Guido. But two deacons, Ariald and Landulf, about
A.D. 1057 formed a conspiracy among the common people, against
“the Nicolaitan sect” (§ 27, 8). To this party its opponents
gave the opprobrious name of Pataria, Paterini, from patalia,
meaning rabble, riffraff, or from Pattarea, a back street
of ill fame in Milan, the quarter of the rabble, where the
Arialdists held their secret meetings. They took the name
given in reproach as a title of honour, and after receiving
military organization from Erlembald, Landulf’s brother, they
opened a campaign against the married priests. For thirty years
this struggle continued to deluge city and country with blood.
