3. Bishop
"Carolingian connection with the papacy meant that Aquitanian bishops had more frequent contact with the popes than would their later colleagues" [1]
4. Church Councils
"Finally, striking evidence for bishops’ involvement in the wider Caroligian church in this period lies in their presence at numerous church councils throughout the empire. While it is rare to find tenth-century bishops meeting in council with clerics from outside Aquitiane, in the Caroligian era it was a regular occurence." [2]
