“…Both St Amand and St Vaast immediately returned to the royal dominium. 110 When Abbot Genulfus of St Amand died in 968, Lothar offered the abbacy to the turbulent Rather of Verona. 111 Although the project was thwarted, either because Rather turned down the offer himself or because he was chased away by the monks, it shows the king of West Francia directing monastic affairs.…”

Monastic immunities have been much studied in recent years, but the royal protection (tuitio) that was often associated with them in the documents has been comparatively neglected. This article examines King Lothar's diplomas for Flemish monasteries in the years 962–6, texts in which royal protection played a major role. It argues that the issuing of these documents reflected a conjunctural political alliance between the king and the Flemish count Arnulf I, but also that their juridical content in general, and the bestowal of protection in particular, was valued by the recipient institutions. In this way the article makes the case for a more rounded understanding of tuitio in the tenth‐century West Frankish kingdom.
