Arhiepiscopul de Strigoniu legatus natus al Sfântului Scaun și nu diocezan asupra părților meridionale ale Transilvaniei
The Archbishop of Strigoniu legatus natus of the Holy See and not diocesan over the southern parts of Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: The study presents a historical perspective on the relations between the provost of Sibiu and the deanery of Brașov and the Hungarian archbishopric of Strigoniu. It is based on a historical-legal reading of the documents that establish the quality of the born legate of the archbishop of Strigoniu for all the structures founded by the Holy See within the Hungarian kingdom and its associated structures such as Transylvania. The born legate is the primate metropolitan of a medieval kingdom, dependent on Rome and acting in Rome's interest. In the Hungarian kingdom, there was a competition between the metropolitans of Esztergom and Kalocsa that also targeted southern Transylvania, to which the Holy See granted, for the Germans there, exemptions for the ecclesiastical structures there being reported to Rome nullo mediante. The conclusion of the study is that the provostship of Sibiu and the deanery of Brașov did not have a diocesan relationship with the Hungarian archbishopric of Strigoniu, but a relationship with the born legate of the Holy See from the Hungarian kingdom.
