The Council of Piacenza is among the most important moments of the Reform that was
sweeping through the Western Church at the end of the eleventh century. It is often
regarded as a launching pad for the First Crusade, though the matter is obscure and
serves only to hide the assembly's true significance as a turning point in the papal
schism between Popes Gregory VII/Urban II and the so-called anti-pope Clement III.
The canons promulgated at Piacenza became landmarks not only for the eleventh- and
twelfth-century Reform, but more broadly for the Church of the High Middle Ages and
even beyond. Robert Somerville situates Piacenza in historical context, discusses
the sources, the attendance, and the need for a new edition of the legislation. The
official canons are lost, but several dozen twelfth-century manuscripts were consulted
for a new edition of these provisions. The account finishes with a commentary on Piacenza's
legislation and a discussion of the subsequent legislation of Urban II's synods. Somerville
completes the picture of what can be known about the papal synods of one of the most
influential Roman pontiffs of the Middle Ages
