Ancestral Princes Archbishops and Bishops

A prince-bishop was a bishop, who in personal union with its spiritual power also played the field on a secular territory, over which he presided as governor. If the see is an archbishopric, the correct expression is prince-archbishop, the equivalent in the regular clergy is a prince-abbot.

In the Byzantine Empire, the emperors still autocratic edited general legislation assigning all the bishops certain rights and duties in the secular administration of their dioceses, but that was part of a development Cesar-papal putting the Eastern Church in the service of the Empire, with its Patriarch almost reduced to the emperor's minister for religious affairs. The Russian Empire went further, abolishing their own patriarchy and placing the Church under the direct control of the secular government

The bishops took part in the government of the kingdom of the Franks and subsequent Carolingian Empire often as members of the clergy and dominicus missus, an official commissioned by the French king or emperor to supervise the administration, especially in the area of justice, in parts of their domains, however, this was an individual mandate, with no connection to the episcopal see.
