Papa Grigore al XI-lea și revendicarea fiscală a teritoriului teuton al Țării Bârsei la 1373
Pope Gregory XI and Fiscal Claim of Barsa Country Teutonic Territory in 1373

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses a request of Pope Gregory XI related to the financial revenues of the Papacy payable by the Teutonic Order for its property in Transylvania. Only that the request is from 1373, while the order was banished from Transylvania in 1225. The study answers the question: why is claimed a property confiscated 150 years ago? The answer is that the Holy See has never recognized the confiscation of the Teutonic property, as the documents show over the time and the fiscal needs of Pope Gregory XI in 1373 are for supporting a new crusade. In the context is remembered the great inquiry from 1373 for the census of all properties of the Hospitaller Knights intended to provide financial benefits for the crusade. The study concludes that the Holy See has not legally and patrimonially abandoned the Teutonic property in Transylvania.
