The presented conference is devoted to the phenomenon of violence in relation to the medieval Church, as well as within the structures of that institution. The aim of this conference is to gain a clearer understanding of hostile and violent acts against the religious institutions and clergy alike, forceful contestation of property rights of the Church, etc. This conference seeks to explore also the interpersonal violence between clergymen or aggressive competition between local churches, moreover, the role of violence in maintaining discipline within the communities of the regular and secular clergy, as well as many aspects of these phenomena, including the religious, legal or ideological interpretation of these issues. The given issues seem to be neglected, especially on the ground of the Central European historiographies. Hence the organizers hope that the new discussion will help to create new fields of research and will shed some light on the given topics, and thus enrich our understanding of the role of the Church in medieval European society.
