In Hora Mortis: Deceso, duelo, rapiña y legado en la muerte del obispo Visigótico

Abstract

In these pages we approach the final moments of the life of a Visigothic bishop - his death and the due ritual - and the inmediately later ones. These moments are the ultimate manifestation of their social prominence. However, they also were moments for the robberies, made by churchmen and family of the deceased. Finally, we are also interested in his legacy Now the issue was to avoid these robberies that damaged seriously the personal property of the bishop and, especially, the heritage ecclesiastical.
