  Encyclopedia: Hincmar of Rheims   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The context for the most developed expression of Hincmar of Rheims’ dualist-concilarist views was a bitter dispute between himself and his nephew, Hincmar, the Bishop of Laon, regarding an alleged breach of the younger’s feudal obligations to Charles the Bald.
He did this by appealing to the supposed sovereign rights of the Bishop of Rome to be “the court of first instance” rather than the “court of final appeal”—rights which, were being buttressed by not only the “historical” bases of the Decretals but by the powerful influence of Pseudo-Dionysian hierocratic philosophical theology.
For Hincmar of Laon, all synodal and conciliar judgments were validated by the “authority of Peter” (auctoritas Petri) and the customs (consuetudo) of the Roman Church, both of which principles were resolvable into the "from himself" (ex sese) dictations of the Roman Bishop.

 John Scottus Eriugena   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Eriugena first appears in history as a ‘master’ at the court of Carolus calvus or Charles the Bald (823—77), the grandson of Charlemagne, where he was a distinguished member of Charles’s court, judging by the several references to his erudition (made both by his supporters and his enemies).
Bishop Florus calls him ‘scholarly and learned’ (scholasticus et eruditus, Patrologia Latina, henceforth: PL CXIX 103a) and Anastasius, the Vatican librarian of the day, marvelled at the fact that this ‘barbarian’ (vir barbarus) from a remote land knew Greek.
He was listed as magister of the cathedral school at Laon, which was also the location of one of Charles’s palaces, and possibly his main residence.

In many cases, the theologically engaged scholars were themselves chancellors specifically in charge of the writing bureaus that produced charters, or else they were bishops or abbots responsible for the written output produced in their names.
Reform-minded bishops or their chancellors often founded or reorganized local abbeys; masters of schools not infrequently returned to cloisters (Bruno, William of Champeaux); indeed, some scholars produced most of their work in a monastic environment (Lanfranc and Anselm of Bec).
Abelard and the School of Laon were concerned, however, to reconcile transcendence and immanence, and so insisted on the presence of God within the begotten Son and, through the Son, within the created human being as well.
