Both
modern scholarship and contemporary accounts have portrayed the tenth-century
Italian episcopacy as more divided than its counterparts in West and East
Francia. This chapter will argue that ideals of episcopal unity and solidarity
were more prevalent among northern Italian prelates than implied by these
accounts. While church councils and other more overt displays of episcopal
solidarity were largely absent, an ideology of episcopal collegiality was kept
alive through the production and transmission of canon law collections. Moreover,
appealing to the episcopacy as an ordo was still endowed with a great deal of political
power
