| Resumo: | Cathedral chapters are a good laboratory for testing the role played by rules and moral customs inspired by the monastic ideal of discipline in the creation of models of social conduct. This paper is intended to analyse the rules promulgated by the Burgos Cathedral Chapter and the bishop in order to regulate good relations within the institution and shape the behaviour of clergy and faithful alike. It argues that these regulations, based on the model of monastic discipline, clashed with the resistance of clerics immersed in the conflicts of daily life and tied to the patronage and kinship relationship typical of late medieval society in Castile. A gap was opened between the monastic ideal of discipline which aimed to achieve spiritual perfection through control over the soul and the body, and the practical application of this ideal in the secular world by clergymen. |
