In comparison to the ceremonial entries of French kings, little work has been done on episcopal entries. Whereas royal entries underwent a period of massive elaboration during the later Middle Ages and Renaissance, there was less change to bishops’ entries during this period, especially in towns where civic administrations used these ceremonies to compel bishops to acknowledge their rights. While less susceptible to modification than royal entries, important changes did occur to the episcopal entry by the later sixteenth century because of the increased Counter-Reformation emphasis on the power of the bishop, as well as the impact of the Wars of Religion. By the seventeenth century, the requirement to confirm urban liberties at entries was far less a part of an episcopal entry than it had been during the heights of this ceremony during the later Middle Ages. Nonetheless, the episcopal entry remained an important way for towns to recruit brokers.

中世纪晚期和文艺复兴时期法国的主教条目和城市自由，c。1200–c。1600

与法国国王的礼仪条目相比，主教条目的工作很少。在中世纪后期和文艺复兴时期，皇室条目经历了一段大规模的详细阐述，而在此期间主教条目的变化较少，特别是在市政当局使用这些仪式迫使主教承认他们的权利的城镇。虽然不像皇家条目那样容易修改，但由于反宗教改革越来越强调主教的权力以及宗教战争的影响，主教条目在 16 世纪后期确实发生了重要变化。到了十七世纪，与中世纪后期这一仪式的鼎盛时期相比，在入场时确认城市自由的要求远不是主教入场的一部分。尽管如此，主教入会仍然是城镇招募掮客的重要方式。
