lay abbot
Lay abbot (''abbatocomes'', ''abbas laicus'', ''abbas miles'') is a name used to designate a layman on whom a king or someone in authority bestowed an abbey as a reward for services rendered; he had charge of the estate belonging to it, and was entitled to part of the income. The custom existed principally in the Frankish Empire from the eighth century until the ecclesiastical reforms of the eleventh.
==Background==
Numerous synods held in France in the sixth and seventh centuries passed decrees against this abuse of church property. The Merovingians had bestowed church lands on laymen, or at least allowed them their possession and use, though not ownership.〔(Kirsch, Johann Peter. "Lay Abbot." The Catholic Encyclopedia ) Vol. 9. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910. 26 Jul. 2015〕 The Merovingian kings were also in the habit of appointing abbots to monasteries which they had founded; moreover, many monasteries, though not founded by the king, placed themselves under royal patronage in order to share his protection, and so became possessions of the Crown.
