65536. Francis Palmes
History note: During the Middle Ages the Catholic Church was the only recognized church in Europe, and had its own laws and in the majority of instances controlled large " coffers ", or financial reserves. The church leaders, Bishops and Archbishops often sat on the king's council and played leading roles in the ruling government. The Bishops, who were most generally wealthy came from noble families and ruled over groups of parishes called "diocese." The Parish Priests, on the other hand, usually came from a much more modest background and often had only a very basic education. However, in many cases it was the Parish Priest that was often responsible to teach Latin and the Bible to the children of the village.
