Proces udeľovania farského benefícia vo vidieckych farnostiach vrcholne stredovekého Uhorského kráľovstva ako príklad komunikácie medzi cirkevnou a svetskou mocou

A rare collection of charters, preserved in the Levoča or Spiš rotulus, provides unprecedented insight into the medieval process of granting parish benefices in rural Hungary. These documents, though few, were used as evidence in a 14th-century dispute between the Provost of Spiš and the Bishop of Eger, suggesting they met all contemporary legal requirements for indisputable possession of a benefice. The study reveals that the process involved two phases: one led by lay patrons, focusing on selecting and presenting parish priests with parishioner participation, and another under ecclesiastical authority, consisting of three steps—proclamatio, investiture, and introductio—though only the investiture is observable in the analyzed records.
