Abstract


In this article we analyze the rural clergy through two concepts that define the situation of its members in the middle Ages: beneflcium and officium. The first one is a word of feudal origin to designate the income or remuneration for the office, and we try to clarify it like a previous requirement to obtain the holy orders, the regular and irregular methods to get a beneflcium, the increase of ecclesiastical posts and their economic values. In relationship to the office we confirm that there were many beneficiaries who hardly had any significant ecclesiastical function. Rather, they carried out administrative or private activities, and we find a split between service and remuneration for the office
