Monks belonged to the Church, meaning that they could not be accused, tried or sentenced under civil law. They were subject only to Canon Law (Church Law), where the death sentence was not an option.
Their status as clerics set monks, abbots, priors, bishops, archbishops, priests, deacons and archdeacons apart from all other elements of society - they did not fit into the feudal system but alongside it.
