Summary:

The Council of Piacenza is one of the most important events of the reform that was sweeping through the Western Church at the end of the eleventh century. It is often regarded as a launching pad for the First Crusade, though the matter is obscure and serves only to hide the assembly's true significance as a turning point in the papal schism between Popes Gregory VII, Urban II, and the so-called anti-pope Clement III. The canons promulgated at Piacenza became landmarks not only for the eleventh- and twelfth-century reform, but more broadly for the church of the High Middle Ages and even beyond. Book jacket.
