La imagen del obispo ideal en la revuelta de las Comunidades de Castilla (1520-1521).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The tradition of the ideal bishop has a long trajectory in the history of Christianity. The Sixteenth Century was one of the moments of more discussion on this topic, with particular interest on reforming the habits of the clergy in West Europe. The Hispanic kingdoms were not out of this movement, especially for the attempts of reform proposed of the Catholic Kings and the Council of Trent. Between these two processes, the revolt of the Comunidades of Castile (1520-1521) outlined a program of ecclesiastical reform including the bishops. Among the different documents of the rebels and within the context of the uprising, the dispute for an image of the bishop and his tasks can be found.
