Premièrement, nous avons trouvé dans Persée un ouvrage qui traite très concrètement des luttes de pouvoirs à Lyon entre les évêques et Amédée V, prince de Savoie. Il s'agit de Deux archevêchés entre la France et l'Empire. Les archevêques de Lyon et les archevêques de Vienne du milieu du XIIe au milieu du XIVe siècle, par Bruno Galland aux éditions Bibliothèque des Écoles françaises d'Athènes et de Rome.

PREFACE

In the religious history of medieval France, which has never ceased to be the subject of valuable work studying it in all its aspects, the volume offered to us by Bruno Galland and published by the French School of Rome constitutes an important innovation. Many monographs of bishoprics under this or that episcopate have been published, or even more rarely over a relatively long period, but the author intends to deal here simultaneously with the comparative history of two bishoprics, and not just any two bishoprics, but two of the most illustrious and oldest archbishoprics of medieval France, Lyon and Vienne. The interest is all the greater because both belong to the same geographical sector placed in the same political context, both passing around the same time from the Empire to the Kingdom of France and both having been the seat of great councils, respectively in 1245 and 1274 in Lyon and 1312 in Vienne. Bruno Galland began by presenting a thesis at the École nationale des chartes in 1987 on "The Archbishops of Lyon, from the Golden Bull of Frederick Barbarossa (1157) to the Philippines of Philip the Fair (1308)", a more traditional monograph for which very in-depth research had made it possible to study the Lyon case in depth and thus to pose the problems. The chronological extension up to the middle of the 14th century and a parallel study carried out on the archbishopric of Vienna allowed the two cases and their evolution to be compared. 

Drawing out obvious analogies and significant synchronisms, but also showing notable divergences regarding the social recruitment of archbishops and their entourage, regarding their relations with neighboring princes and their vassals or with their chapter and their archiepiscopal city, not to mention the evolution of institutions, such a study allows us to bring more than nuances to the very history of the Church of France. Indeed, the conclusions reached by the author regarding the chronological divergences of certain developments, such as the establishment of an officiality or an archiepiscopal seal or the establishment of synodal statutes, prove to us that the distortions are not due to a simple difference in chronology in the integration of the two regions into the kingdom of France. Thus this thesis brings much new to what we thought we knew and we could express the hope that it will provoke similar work in other regions. 

The intermediate position of the two archbishoprics between the two powers, the Empire and the French kingdom at the time of its growth, gave their prelates real independence from political power. The "golden bulls" of Frederick Barbarossa made them true princes capable of conducting a real policy, and the study of their contrasting relationships with the sovereigns as well as with the princes, the counts of Forez and Savoy, and the Dauphins of Vienne constitute an appreciable contribution to the very history of the State and of these principalities. The variable relationships of the archbishops with the papal power are no less important for general history. Likewise, the policy that the archbishops followed with regard to their cities, at the time of the "crisis of Romans" as well as the "Lyonnais uprising", provides many elements for the history of cities and, more generally, of communities of inhabitants at the end of the 13th century, while the comparative study of the fate of the two currencies, the Lyonnais which encountered many difficulties, and the Viennese which triumphed, constitutes a most interesting element for the economic history of a large part of the South-East of present-day France. Each of the problems posed has been studied with remarkable precision, the research having always been carried out in depth, allowing conclusions of very great importance on the situation of the Church in the South-East of France, certainly, but from which one can also draw lessons for a much more general history. This is because the author has carried out exhaustive archival analyses from which he has always made the most: all the printed sources - and there are many - have obviously been used, and the National Archives and the Departmental Archives of the entire area considered - eight departments - have been systematically used, as well as the collections of the National Library and the Library of Lyon; but also important analyses have been carried out at the Vatican Archives, notably with regard to the head of the series of supplications.

This doctoral thesis, defended in 1992 in the tradition of the old doctoral theses of letters, is therefore a work of brilliant erudition. Without mentioning its extreme interest for the whole of the South-East of France, it enlightens us more generally on many problems of the French Church of this time - the two central centuries of the Middle Ages, from the middle of the 12th century to the middle of the 14th -, on its institutions, on the policy of its prelates. If on an infinite number of points it brings us many new details (which are documented by nearly 4000 notes of archival or bibliographical references), it is the whole itself which presents much that is new, while being read without any effort. We can only hope that this work will inspire other similar works, designed on the same comparative level and based on the long term, which allowed Bruno Galland to penetrate much further than has yet been done in our knowledge of the politics and ecclesiastical institutions of medieval France.
