Abstract:Matrimonial Caseloads in Xanten and Basel -- Franco-Germanic adjudication -- England -- Italy : Canonical marriage on the sidelines -- Top-down pastoral action in Catalonia -- The Domestic partnerships of Iberia -- Conclusion.
"From the establishment of a coherent doctrine on sacramental marriage to the eve of the Reformation, late medieval church courts were used for marriage cases in a variety of ways.
