Book excerpt: In 1226, Pope Honorius III resolved a conflict between the Duke of Silesia, Henry I the Bearded, & Bishop Lawrence of Wroclaw, the see of that duchy. Henry alleged that the bishop had subjected the inhabitants of his duchy to unowed exactions levied as tithes. Henry alleged a devastating impact of Lawrence's demands on settlement in his duchy, on his authority over its inhabitants, and implicitly on the entire social, economic, and political order over which he presided.
