Academic literature on the topic 'Vicar general'

From 1305 to 1378, the popes involved in 64 missions 40 cardinals (that is 26,7% of the members of the Sacred College of that period), either as legate (41%), or as legate and vicar general on the Papal States (7%), or only as nuncio (35%), excluding the vicars generals who were neither legate nor nuncio. In a (temporary) synthesis are studied the composition and the working of the legatine chanceries: the functions and the value of the chancellors, their relations with the judiciary court of the cardinal’s curia (audientia causarum curie); the various members of the chancery, notaries, secretaries, abbreviatores, scribes, registratores and all the familiares working in the „writing offices” of cardinals. On the other hand, the relations between the legatine chanceries and other chanceries (specially papal and royal ones) are observed in order to see their reciprocal influence and the effects on the development of the papal diplomacy. Two tables are proposed in appendix, a chronological table of all missions of these cardinals from 1305 to 1378 and a synthetic table of the members of the „writing offices” during legations and nunciatures or nor.

Abstract On medieval church legislation in the Kingdom of Hungary - the diocesan law tribunal of Esztergom under the vicar Matteo di Vicedomini di Piacenza (1399-1428). In this paper the authors present the organization and work of medieval ecclesiastical courts of the Hungarian Kingdom in the 14th and 15th centuries in general, and on the other hand they examine this in detail by evaluation of a single court’s activity. The diocesan law courts were tribunals of first instance led by an officialis who was called in Hungary vicarius generalis, usually a doctor of canon law helped by assessores and staff. The seats of the archbishops of Esztergom and Kalocsa were tribunals of second instance, and the former was, as a primate, also a third degree forum since 1394/95. In comparison to Hungarian secular courts, literacy played a major role, although none of the judiciary registres have survived from the territory of Hungary before 1525. The jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts was probably the broadest at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries (cases of clergy, matrimonial and quarta puellaris lawsuits, hereditary cases, questions of oaths, benefices, wills and purity of the faith). This was constricted by the jurisdiction of secular courts already in the 15th century. - These phenomena can be explored and analyzed also through the activity of the Esztergom Tribunal under the vicar Matteo di Vicedomini di Piacenza, who served there as a judicial vicar between 1399-1403, 1411-1423 and 1425-1428. According to the charters we know he dealt with various types of cases. It can be observed how the tribunal and its members worked even in the absence of the vicar, how the charters were sealed and which were the tasks of the assessores, the notars and scribes.

As a general principle, regular marriage in the Church of England is solemnized after the publication of banns. This requirement entered the medival canon law first as a matter of local custom, but was made universal in 1215 by a decree of the Fourth Lateran Council. Lord Hardwicke's Act did not impose the requirement of banns for the first time; it simply ensured that the option of an irregular marriage without banns, previously recognised by Church and State thoughfrowned upon, would no longer be valid in law.
