The Feudal Court and Diet of the Olomouc Bishopric in the Sixteenth Century: Influences and Reception of Moravian Provincial Law on the Feudal System of the Olomouc Bishopric

Original language description

The Olomouc Bishopric was among the most important church institutions in the medieval Czech lands. During the episcopate of Bruno of Schauenburg (1245–1281), a feudal system was established on the bishop’s estates, becoming one of the pillars of the power of the Bishops of Olomouc. The medieval feudal system of the Olomouc Bishopric in the thirteenth century was based on legal foundations influenced by a Western European environment. These legal principles were primarily derived from the Saxon legal sphere. In the second half of the fourteenth century, we can observe a more significant influence of Moravian provincial law. Bishop Stanislav Thurzó (1496–1540) ordered a legally binding collection of feudal law to be printed in 1538 under the name of Práva manská (a Czech translation of the Schwabenspiegel’), which was supplemented by several decisions of the feudal court. However, this collection of law was not used in practice and, on the contrary, during his episcopate the influence of Moravian provincial law increased significantly. Many legal instruments and concepts (Rechtsinstitute) of Moravian provincial law, both in the field of substantive and procedural law, were adopted into the feudal law practiced in the feudal system of the Bishops of Olomouc. The method of keeping records in legal manuscripts at the feudal court was eventually copied from the Moravian provincial court. Only simple rituals remained from the original feudal law and, paradoxically, more elements of feudal law appear only towards the end of the period under study.
