After all, more clerics than laypeople were literate, even if there were many poorly educated clerics, and the clergy were closer to the heart of medieval centers of record keeping. The institutional church had reason to record their existence as individuals and to keep track of what property and privileges had been granted to them, more perhaps than secular governments cared about the laity of a similar status.
