Abstract

This article examines the situation of the clergy of the Iberian Peninsula during the Gregorian Reform, in the 11th Century. The existence of private churches and monasteries, secular interference in the provision of the benefits, and the nicolaitans and simoniac clerics demanded the determined actions of reformers sent directly by pope Leo IX (1049-1054) and his successors, in particular Alexander II (1061-1073) and Gregory VII (1073-1085), who nominated the reform. The Hispanic peculiarity of the reformation, imbued for centuries in the Christian repopulation of the territory, demanded some of the most important instruments of this time: the diocesan synods convened and presided over by the papal legates, and the erection of communities of regular canons, according to the Rule of Saint Augustine.
