Archbishop of Valoret

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the fictional universe of the Deryni novels of Katherine Kurtz, the Archbishop of Valoret is the highest-ranking priest of the Holy Church of Gwynedd. Also bearing the title of Primate of All Gwynedd, the Archbishop of Valoret is chosen by an election among the Synod of Bishops, and must receive a two-thirds majority of votes to be elected. Although the office of Archbishop of Valoret wields no official secular authority within Gwynedd, the important role of the church in Gwyneddan society makes the Archbishop one of the most powerful and influential men in the kingdom. It is the right and duty of the Primate of All Gwynedd to not only crown a new monarch, but to also perform royal weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Additionally, the Archbishop of Valoret traditionally sits on any royal Regency Councils. Within the church itself, the Archbishop wields enormous influence on the direction and course of the church as a whole through his control of ecclesiastical lands, revenues, and personnel.
