Did Lay Abbots have jurisdiction?

I know abbots who are priests had jurisdiction. But I also know Abbesses have no jurisdiction. But could a lay abbot have jurisdiction?

It's an interesting question, but apparently moot since 1078.



Quote
The Council of Poitiers (1078) finally obliged all Abbots under pain of deprivation to receive priest's orders. (Thomassin, Pt. I, I, iii, passim.)
