The Church played an undoubted role, parallel to that of the secular rulers, in the territorial government of the Hispanic Visigothic kingdom. The present research aims to delve into the mechanisms used by bishops to ensure the control of the territorial structures under their charge, in particular rural churches. We will focus especially on those strategies aimed at achieving the adhesion and loyal service of the rural priests, given their role as channels for the projection of episcopal power over the countryside. Through this task, it is possible to understand the importance of the rural ecclesiastical structures in the political and religious shaping of the kingdom, particularly as elements of social control
