Abstract	This session looks at clergy in localities before and after the emergence of the parish system. Clergy were responsible for pastoral care, and its organisation before the emergence of parishes can be hard to establish. The first two papers in this session look at local clergy in Spain, the first one looking at the books and other material resources of priests 800-1000, and the second at the organisation of pastoral care around Manresa in Catalonia in the 10th century. The third paper, on 11th-13th c Normandy, considers what effects there were for parish clergy when advowson was in ecclesiastical hands.
