Capitulary - LoveToKnow 1911 He embodied them in four books: one of the ecclesiastical capitularies of Charlemagne, one of the ecclesiastical capitularies of Louis the Pious, one of the secular capitularies of Charlemagne, and one of the secular capitularies of Louis, bringing together similar provisions and suppressing duplicates. These capitularies have the same weight as the law which they complete; they are particular in their application, applying, that is to say, only to the men subject to that law. These capitularies were generally elaborated by the king of the Franks in the autumn assemblies or in the committees of the spring assemblies. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Capitulary   (1247 words)

[No title] With regard to these capitularies two questions arise: (1) as to the means by which they have been handed down to us; (2) as to their true character and scope. (1) As soon as the capitulary was composed, it was sent to the various functionaries of the Frankish empire, archbishops, bishops, missi and counts, a copy being kept by the chancellor in the archives of the palace. (b) The Capitula ecclesiastics.—These capitularies were elaborated in the councils of the bishops; the kings of the Franks sanctioned the canon of the councils, and made them obligatory on all the Christians in the kingdom. encyclopedia.jrank.org /correction/edit?content_id=13255&locale=en   (1229 words)

XI. Charlemagne And His Government Page 4 Amongst Charlemagne's sixty-five Capitularies, which contain eleven hundred and fifty-one articles, may be counted eighty-seven of moral, two hundred and ninety-three of political, one hundred and thirty of penal, one hundred and ten of civil, eighty-five of religious, three hundred and five of canonical, seventy-three of domestic, and twelve of incidental legislation. Certain Capitularies have been termed religious legislation in contradistinction to canonical legislation, because they are really admonitions, religious exhortations, addressed not to ecclesiastics alone, but to the faithful, the Christian people in general, and notably characterized by good sense, and, one might almost say, freedom of thought. Of the sixty-five Capitularies classed under different heads, thirteen only are previous to the 25th of December, 800, the date of his coronation as emperor at Rome; fifty-two are comprised between the years 801 and 804. www.web-books.com /Classics/Nonfiction/History/HistFrance1/HistFrance1C13P4.htm   (680 words)

[No title] But the adding of these capitularies to the personal laws occasioned, I imagine, the neglect of the very body of the Capitularies themselves; in times of ignorance, the abridgment of a work often causes the loss of the work itself. The capitulary of Louis the Debonnaire allows the liberty of choosing to fight either with the sword or baston.[120] In process of time none but bondmen fought with the baston.[121] Here I seethe first rise and formation of the particular articles of our point of honour. I find in the capitulary of Metz[202] a law by which the appeal of false judgment to the king's court is established, and all other kinds of appeal are proscribed and punished. www.constitution.org /cm/sol_28.txt   (14745 words)

Benedict Levita Benedict Levita (of Mainz), or Benedict the Deacon, is the name given to himself by the author of a forged collection of capitularies which appeared in the ninth century. The collection belongs to the group of pseudo-Isidorian forgeries that includes the pseudo-Isidorian recension of the Spanish collection of canons, the so-called "capitula Angilramni", and the collection of false decretals of the pseudo-Isidore. As to the sources of the collection, about one-fourth of it consists of genuine capitularies (a certain kind of royal decrees customary in the Frankish Empire); in fact, the genuine materials used by the author surpass sometimes those used by Ansegisus. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/b/benedict_levita.html   (674 words)

Last check: ) CAPITULARIES: A term which designates a certain class of royal edicts in the Carolingian period, and which is frequently employed not only for the Carolingian capitilaria but also for the edicta, præceptiones, decreta, or decretiones of the Merovingian kings and the mayors of the palace under Arnulf. They are distinguished from the other class of diplomata or mandata, not so much by the division into chapters, from which they get their name, or by the general nature of their provisions as by their form and by the absence of any attestation in the way of signatures or seal. The multiplication of capitularies led before long to the need of codification; for the collection made by Ansegis of Fontanella, see Ansegis, and for the forged capitularies appended to his collection by Benedictus Levita, see Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals. www.ccel.org /ccel/schaff/encyc02.capitularies.html   (560 words)

Charlemagne's Biography That this capitulary meant what it said appears from the case of the duke of Istria, who, being accused by the missi of divers injustices and extortions, was forced by the King to restore his thievings, compensate every wronged man, publicly confess his crimes, and give security against their repetition. A further capitulary of 789 urged the directors of these schools to “take care to make no difference between the sons of serfs and of freemen, so that they might come and sit on the same benches to study grammar, music, and arithmetic.”A capitulary of 805 provided for medical education, and another condemned medical superstitions. In a capitulary of 811 he asked the clergy what they meant by professing to renounce the world, when “we see some of them laboring day by day, by all sorts of means, to augment their possessions; now making use, for this purpose, of menaces of www.chronique.com /Library/MedHistory/charlemagne.htm   (4471 words)

Three capitularies detailing military affairs in the Carolingian Empire Capitularies are decrees promulgated by a ruler, and are usually divided into articles. They sometimes applied to only a specific region or dealt with one subject, or could be wide-ranging works that were meant for the entire state. The second document is a report on military recruitment problems, and it may have been written as a basis for discussion at a forthcoming assembly which was held that year in Boulogne. www.deremilitari.org /RESOURCES/SOURCES/charlemagne5.htm   (1436 words)

Montesquieu, "The Spirit of Laws," Book XXVIII When the counts, or the king's commissaries did not find themselves able to bring the great lords to reason, they made them give bail or security[201] that they would appear in the king's court: this was to try the cause, and not to rejudge it. But in criminal causes, we never meet with the advocate for the public prosecutor; not even where duels are used;[272] not even in the case of incendiaries;[273] not even when the judge is killed on his bench;[274] not even in causes relating to the conditions of persons,[275] to liberty and slavery.[276] These formulas are made, not only for the laws of the Lombards, but likewise for the capitularies added to them, so that we have no reason to doubt of their giving us the practice observed with regard to this subject under our princes of the second race. classicliberal.tripod.com /montesquieu/sol28.html   (16989 words)

FRANCE, 887-1108 At times it was the invasion, or danger of invasion, by his brother, Lewis the German, with whom his vassals were plotting; at other times it was the incursions of the Northmen who were a constant menace and with whom occasionally the disaffected nobles united. Finally the king was compelled to act without the advice of his own vassals and promulgated the i famous "capitulary of Kiersey," which he intended as a check upon his son's power. But he recognized clearly the hereditary right of a son to succeed his father as count and, moreover, ordered that all the bishops, abbots, counts, and other tenants in chief should observe the same rule with regard to their vassals. www.shsu.edu /~his_ncp/Munro18.html   (7433 words)

Charlemagne's Questionnaire: A Little-Known Document from the Very Beginnings of Survey Research by Thomas Peterson It is contained in the first volume of Alfred Boretius' collection of so-called "capitularies"—a body of decrees, directives, and announcements which were issued by the Franconian rulers with regard to legislative, administrative, or religious matters, for the most part divided into various articles, or capitula. All three date from the year 811 and were presumably compiled in preparation for a parliamentary assembly in Aachen—a great gathering of the secular and clerical leaders of the realm—although the documents were most probably not put to use until the councils of Arles, Chalon-sur-Saône, Mainz, Reims, and Tours in 813. lthough none of the original capitularies is in existence today, there are two existing documents which, according to historian Hubert Mordek, are first-generation copies that were made almost immediately after the originals had been completed. www.publicopinionpros.com /features/2005/feb/petersen.asp   (868 words)
