Il “patrimonium Theatinum” tra Gregorio VII e i Normanni nella canonistica romana dell’XI secolo
Abstract This chapter sets out to examine the Roman Catholic Church’s attempt to expand its land power in Abruzzo during the eleventh century. The research begins with a document cited by Cardinal Deusdedit in the “Collectio Canonum”: the XV canon of the Council of Ravenna, where it is stated that Pope John VIII cited the Teatino patrimony as an inalienable property of the Roman Church. Doubts about this document arise if we consider that this is the only case where we can find a Roman patrimony in Abruzzo from late antiquity to the Middle Ages. The thesis delves deeper into the history of Abruzzo at the time of the writer of “Collectio Canonum”, posits that the Teatino patrimony could have been added by Deusdedit to justify the land expansion policy of eleventh century popes, particularly Gregory VII.
