Christian violence in Pamplona during the papacy of Innocent IV. An approach to reconstructing violence through a set of papal documents

Keywords: Violence, Order of the Friars Minor, Pamplona, Secular clergy, Innocent IV

Abstract

On October 15, 1246, Innocent IV sent a letter to the bishop of Zaragoza where he related a series of events of extreme conflict that would have been led by the friars of the Order of Minors of the city of Pamplona and the prior and archdeacon of the same city. This letter is part of a set of bulls that the pontiff addressed to different actors, both in the ecclesiastical and secular environment, with the aim of curbing disputes between the members of the aforementioned community. The problem would not be resolved until two years later, when on September 2, 1247, Innocent himself confirmed a conciliation between the parties by a prelate that he had sent. The purpose of this work is to reconstruct the facts from the perspective of conflict and violent behaviors based on the analysis of papal intervention letters.
