It is the name of a movement opposed to the Archdiossesis of Milan, which arose before the appointment of a nobleman named Guido de Velatte, as bishop. It is also called the Patarino Movement. They opposed the supremacy of the nobles over Papal spirituality (simony). This occurred between 1056 and 1057, in the time of Emperor Henry III of Germany and Pope Stephen IX. One of its consequences was the Gregorian Reformation.
