Abstract
In late 1031, according to the monk of Angouleme and Limoges Ademar of Chabannes (989-1034), a great meeting of the bishops and other clergy of Aquitaine was held in Limoges to declare God's peace. The council was one of a number of similar councils of the Peace of God, a movement, or more perhaps a series of movements that emerged in two waves during the late tenth and early eleventh century to address the unsettled social conditions of the day. Comprising some fifteen folios in manuscript (some twenty-four pages in the modern edition), Ademar's account of the council provides extensive commentary on the goals and ideals of the Peace of God as well as a complete description of the inner workings and organization of the councils associated with the movement. Keywords: Ademar of Chabannes; Aquitaine; God's peace
