The history of Western Europe in the long tenth century (c. 900 - c. 1050) has long divided historians. For some, especially those working in English and French intellectual traditions, it is primarily a history of collapse after the fragmentation of the Carolingian empire; for others, especially those approaching the topic from a German perspective, it is above all a history of unprecedented collaboration between ecclesiastical and secular leaders before the convulsions of papal reform. This joint UK-German project challenges both these views by investigating systematically for the first time the life-worlds of ordinary local priests in this long tenth century. These priests are currently the 'dark matter' of the early medieval church in this period. They represented the bulk of its personnel, and acted as the key brokers between the general lay populace who constituted the overwhelming majority of the population and the educated elites and cultural leaders. If we want to understand the nature of post-Carolingian cultural and social change, and to set the elite politics of the period into a proper context, then we must understand these local priests: their economic standing, what they knew, what standards they were set, how they fitted into their local societies - and how all these things changed. Until now, however, and despite their evident importance and significant archival footprint, tenth-century local priests have barely been studied, sidelined in favour of higher-profile elite figures and communities such as bishops and monasteries. By combining different methodologies tailored to a range of bodies of evidence to research the variation and change in the life-worlds of these priests primarily in the lands of the successor states to Carolingian Francia (approximately modern-day Germany, northern Italy and France), and by drawing on the expertise of a team that brings together the distinctive UK and German historiographical traditions, this project throws an entirely new light on the dynamics of the long tenth century, and thus on a crucial moment of transition in European history.

在漫长的10世纪（公元900年-公元1050年）的西欧历史上，历史学家一直存在分歧。对一些人来说，尤其是那些研究英法传统知识分子的人来说，这主要是一部加洛林王朝分裂后的崩溃史；对其他人来说，尤其是那些从德国人的角度来研究这个话题的人来说，这首先是一段在教皇改革动荡之前，教会和世俗领导人之间前所未有的合作历史。这个英德联合项目首次系统地调查了漫长的十世纪中普通当地牧师的生活世界，挑战了这两种观点。这些牧师目前是这一时期早期中世纪教会的“暗物质”。他们代表了其大部分人员，并充当了占人口绝大多数的普通平民与受过教育的精英和文化领袖之间的关键中间人。如果我们想了解后加洛林王朝文化和社会变革的本质，并将这一时期的精英政治置于适当的背景下，那么我们必须了解这些地方牧师：他们的经济地位，他们知道什么，他们设定了什么标准，他们如何融入当地社会，以及所有这些是如何变化的。然而，直到现在，尽管十世纪的当地牧师有着明显的重要性和重要的档案足迹，但他们几乎没有被研究过，而是被边缘化，更青睐于高调的精英人物和社区，如主教和修道院。通过结合不同的方法，根据一系列证据来研究这些牧师生活世界的变化和变化，主要是在加洛林法兰克王朝的继承国（大约是今天的德国，意大利北部和法国），并利用一个汇集了独特的英国和德国史学传统的团队的专业知识，这个项目为漫长的十世纪的动态提供了一个全新的视角。也因此进入了欧洲历史转折的关键时刻。
