Hincmar of Rheims: On Kingship, Divorce, Virtues and Vices
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Hincmar, 9th century archbishop of Rheims, advises Carolingian rulers, Charles the Bald and Carloman, on kingship, the running of the kingdom, and virtues to be cultivated and vices to be avoided. At the request of the leaders of the realm when Lothar II wishes to repudiate his wife and return to the concubine he had had before his marriage, he formulates guidelines for divorce, which later were made part of canon law.
