A nádori közgyűléseken közreműködő hiteleshelyek a kezdetektől 1435-ig
The Places of Authentication Assisting the Palatinal Congregations from the Beginning to 1435

Summary/Abstract: Since the 19th century it has been accepted by the scholarly literature as solid fact that the palatinal congregations were also regularly attended by the delegates of the collegiate chapter of (Székes)fehérvár as official testimonies. Yet research into the charter material has revealed several pieces of evidence attesting that the testimony present at the congregation and sent on mission therefrom was by no means always a member of the Fehérvár chapter. Indeed, a case-based research has demonstrated that such exceptions were far from scarce up to the end of the fourteenth century. The paper accordingly explores the causes of such cases, and analyses the practice as it had developed by the first third of the fifteenth century, seeking connections with the emergence of the chapter of Fehérvár as a place of authentication of national competence.
