Explanation:

Bishops, abbots, princes or barons of the Gothic age got ready to put up a notable building, their first care was to select the master builder.

"Master builders moved about freely from place to place [ ... ] to obtain commissions. When a new construction had been determined upon, the bishop or chapter or abbot, as the case might be, let the fact be known"
