metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines five Livonian cathedral chapters — Riga, Dorpat, Osilia, Curonia and
  Reval — during the Reformation era (1522–1566): from the beginning of Livonian Reformation
  to the dissolution of the Chapter of Riga. The main aim is to identify the most important
  changes in the chapters, and to examine reactions to the Reformation and to the religious alterations
  amongst the canons. Although there are obvious gaps in the statistical data, it is possible
  to present an overall picture of the situation. If one compares the beginning and the end
  of the period, the numbers of the canons seem to have remained almost the same. The number
  of local canons that came from burgher families drops which could be connected with the success
  of the Reformation in Livonian towns, while the increase in the number of canons from
  Germany might be connected to the intensifying relations of Livonia with the Holy Roman
  Empire. The falling number of cumulations (i. e., cases when a canon held multiple chapter
  seats simultaneously) might indicate pursuit to enhance internal discipline in the chapters and
  attempt to face the challenge of the Reformation. The data about religious affiliations shows
  that the chapter of Riga was dominantly Catholic at the end of the 1540s, but mainly Protestant
  by the end of the 1550s. Generally, it appears that there were no serious confessional
  conflicts in Livonian chapters, and as there is no information about them elsewhere, it can be
  concluded that confessional conflicts reached Livonia only during and after the Livonian War.
