N2 - Was there a crisis in relations between clerics, and particularly monks, and the laity around the time of the Gregorian reform? This chapter investigates the question with reference to three well-established religious communities in the Moselle valley from the late eleventh into the early twelfth century: the convent of Remiremont in the diocese of Toul, and the monasteries of St-Maximin of Trier and St-Arnulf of Metz. It argues that the relationships of these communities with the laity, while constantly re-negotiated, did not undergo a breakdown in this period of the kind that has been identified elsewhere. These relations were « co-opetitive » before the Gregorian reform, and remained so afterwards.
