The chapter of Rouen claimed a miracle performed by St. Romain, who had killed a great dragon called the Gargoyle (around 640) with the help of a murderer whom he had freed from prison for this purpose. The ecclesiastical authorities asserted that this had resulted in a privilege allowing them to release a criminal at each procession of the reliquary of St. Romain. At the end of the 16th century, this privilege began to be severely criticized, particularly by Bodin, who contested the possibility for an ecclesiastical authority to remit a sentence pronounced by the sovereign's courts. In 1592, following another release pronounced by the Archbishop of Rouen, the controversy erupted very fiercely, and this text constitutes the first work published within the context of this debate: it is a vehement attack against the alleged privilege of the chapter of Rouen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51962467778907,"sku":"7662","price":304.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/7662-bouthillier-responce-de-me-d-1","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
