Charlemagne's numerous capitularies contain instructions to his officials to plant vines. |
Counts served as judges, administrators, and enforcers of capitularies. |
There were also special capitularies for Italy, called Capitula Italica, some of which were appended to the edict of Rothar. |
After the union of the Lombards to the Frankish kingdom, the capitularies made for the entire kingdom were applicable to Italy. |
In the 10th century a collection was made of the capitularies in use in Italy, and this was known as the Capitulare Langobardorum. |
But the capitularies could and did range widely, and Charles issued decrees even concerning the conduct of the clergy. |
