“…59 And, while initially used by only a few people, especially Raymond de Fronsac and Bonagratia of Bergamo, it increasingly became the way in which the Franciscan leadership distinguished the order from those whose continued disobedience placed them outside it. 60 The process of categorisation was part of the formation of distinct Franciscan identities, and this process defined the Community of the order just as much as it defined its dissidents. Inasmuch as there ever was a consensus of what it meant to be a Franciscan, it only developed in the course of the debates, at the end of which certain interpretations of Franciscanism came to be defined as illegitimate.…”

This study examines the use of polemical strategies in the internal Franciscan debates during the first half of the fourteenth century, focusing on the exchanges between Ubertino of Casale and his opponents during the Spiritual crisis, and between Michael of Cesena and Gerald Odonis in the aftermath of the so-called theoretical poverty controversy. By comparing the use of polemical tropes and patterns across the two conflicts, it is possible to isolate some of the strategies used by the participants in the debates, as well as highlighting the shifting boundaries of inclusion and exclusion in the definition of what constituted a »true« Franciscan. While outsiders contributed to the debates, this article focuses particularly on the ways in which members of the Franciscan order responded to challenges posed to the authors' understanding of the Franciscan vocation by other members of the order. All sides in these debates agreed on poverty and obedience as central values of the Franciscan life, but they did not accept that their opponents might share their regard for the order's rule and vocation. The debates therefore produced overlapping and competing visions of the Franciscan life which personalised and polarised the underlying larger issues, as well as estab lishing and defending the boundaries between »true« and »false« Franciscans, and there by creating and reinforcing a sense of identity against those members of the order which fell outside the vision.

El movimiento iniciado por Francisco de Asís ha sido asociado a lo largo del tiempo a un mensaje cristiano de paz, tolerancia y misericordia. Sin embargo, en la historia de la Orden encontramos diversos testimonios que refieren a situaciones turbulentas. El objetivo de este trabajo es ahondar sobre las diferentes formas en que se manifestaron la violencia y el conflicto entre hermanos a partir de un testimonio: el que desplegó fray Ubertino de Casale en los debates del concilio de Vienne entre 1310 y 1312. De este modo, se realizará una recolección de las diversas situaciones denuncias en torno a tópicos específicos, a la vez que se analizará con una mirada de análisis del discurso cuáles son los recursos que se despliegan a la hora de representar la violenciaAbstractThe movement initiated by Francis of Assisi has been identified over time with a Christian message of peace, tolerance and compassion. However, we find various testimonies that refer to turbulent situations in the history of the Order. The purpose of this study is to delve into the various means by which violence and conflict between friars themselves have surfaced. We will focus on friar Ubertino of Casale’s testimony in the debates of the Council of Vienne between 1310 and 1312. Through his testimony, we will identify a series of complaints by way of specific stereotypes, and through the use of discourse analysis we will unveil the elements utilized in order to represent violence.
