Mendicant dispute
The mendicant dispute ( 1252 - 1266 ) (also mendicant dispute) was a dispute between teachers at the University of Paris , city clergymen, writers (see Rosenroman , Rutebeuf ) and the still young mendicant orders ( mendicants , from Latin mendicare , "to beg") of the Franciscans and Dominicans , whose activities at the University of Paris should be restricted.
In April 1255 Pope Alexander IV intervened in the dispute in favor of the mendicant orders and ordered the revision of some statutes. The innovations included the teachers' right to strike as a sign of their protest, binding procedures for the co-opting of new teachers and clearer powers of the Chancellor.
At the center of the "Paris University Dispute" was the struggle for university teaching permits and municipal pastoral rights.
