Английская Википедия:Advocatus

During the Middle Ages, an Шаблон:Lang (sometimes given as modern English: advocate; German: Шаблон:Lang; French: Шаблон:Lang) was an office-holder who was legally delegated to perform some of the secular responsibilities of a major feudal lord, or for an institution such as an abbey. Many such positions developed, especially in the Holy Roman Empire. Typically, these evolved to include responsibility for aspects of the daily management of agricultural lands, villages and cities. In some regions, advocates were governors of large provinces, sometimes distinguished by terms such as Шаблон:Lang (in German).

While the term was eventually used to refer to many types of governorship and advocacy, one of the earliest and most important types of Шаблон:Lang was the church advocate (Шаблон:Lang). These were originally lay lords, who not only helped defend religious institutions in the secular world, but were also responsible for exercising lordly responsibilities within the church's lands, such as the handling of legal cases which might require the use of a death penalty. The positions of these office-holders eventually came to be seen as inheritable titles themselves, with their own feudal privileges connected to them.

The Шаблон:Lang as an officer of a court of law first appeared in the 12th and 13th centuries, concomitant with the rediscovery of Roman law.^[1]

Nomenclature

The terms used in various European languages derive from a general Latin term for any person called upon (Шаблон:Lang-la) to stand for another.

Apart from the English terms advocate and advowee, German terms are sometimes mentioned in English accounts of the Holy Roman Empire, and these include Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-de, from Old High German, also Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang; plural Шаблон:Lang). The territory or area of responsibility of a Шаблон:Lang is called a Шаблон:Lang (from Шаблон:Lang).

Ecclesiastical advocates

These advocates were specially bound to represent their clients before the secular courts. They exercised civil jurisdiction in the domain of the church or monastery, and were bound to protect the church with arms in the event of actual assault. Finally, it was their duty to lead the men-at-arms in the name of the church or monastery, and to command them in time of war. In return for these services the advocate received certain definite revenues from the possessions of the church, in the form of supplies or services, which he could demand, or in the form of a lien on church property.

Such advocates are to be found even in Roman times; a Synod of Carthage decreed, in 401, that the emperor should be requested to provide, in conjunction with the bishops, Шаблон:Lang for the churches.^[2] There is evidence, moreover, for such Шаблон:Lang in Italy, at the close of the fifth century, but Pope Gregory I confined the office to members of the clergy. It was the duty of these Шаблон:Lang to protect the poor, and to defend the rights and possessions of the church.

In the Frankish Kingdom, under the Merovingians, these lay representatives of the churches appear as Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang.^[3] The concept of the Шаблон:Lang was related to the Old German idea of the Шаблон:Lang, or guardian, but also included some ideas of physical defence and legal representation (whence the connection with Шаблон:Lang or "advocate").

Under the Carolingians, the duties of the church advocate were enlarged and defined according to the principles of government which prevailed in the reign of Charlemagne; henceforward the Шаблон:Lang in the medieval sense. A Capitulary of about 790^[4] ordained that the higher clergy, "for the sake of the church's honour, and the respect due to the priesthood" (Шаблон:Lang) should have advocates. Charlemagne, who obliged bishops, abbots and abbesses to maintain Шаблон:Lang, commanded to exercise great care in the choice of persons to fill the office; they must be judicious men, familiar with the law, and owning property in the—then still administrative—countship (Шаблон:Lang).^[5] The churches, monasteries and canonries, as such, alike received advocates, who by degrees assumed the position above defined.

Under the Carolingians it was made obligatory for bishops, abbots and abbesses to appoint such officials in every county where they held property. The office was not at first hereditary nor even for life, the Шаблон:Lang being chosen, either by the abbot alone, or by the abbot and bishop concurrently with the count.

In the post-Carolingian period it developed into a hereditary office, and was held by powerful nobles, who constantly endeavoured to enlarge their rights in connection with the church or the monastery. Conciliar decrees were passed as early as the ninth century to protect ecclesiastical institutions against the excessive claims of their advocates, who indeed became in many ways a burden to their ecclesiastical clients. They dealt with the possessions entrusted to them as with their own property, plundered the church estate, appropriated tithes and other revenues, and oppressed in many ways those whom they were appointed to protect.

The office, since it offered many advantages, was eagerly sought after. The excessive claims of the advocates gave rise to disputes between them and the churches or monasteries. The bishops and abbots, who found their rights curtailed, appealed to the Holy Roman Emperor and to the Pope for protection. In the twelfth century warnings issued from Rome, restraining the high-handed actions of the advocates under pain of severe ecclesiastical penalties, which still did not put an end to all the abuses that prevailed. On occasions, emperors and princes exercised the office of advocate, in which case they appointed deputy-advocates (Шаблон:Lang) to represent them.

From the time of Charlemagne, who had such officials appointed in ecclesiastical territories not directly under the control of his counts, the Шаблон:Lang was a state functionary representing ecclesiastical dignitaries (such as bishops and abbots) or institutions in secular matters, and particularly before secular courts. Such representatives had been assigned to the church since late antiquity, as it was not to act for itself in worldly affairs. Therefore, in areas such as the territories of abbeys and bishoprics, which by virtue of their ecclesiastical status were free (or immune) from the secular government of the local count (Шаблон:Lang, in origin an administrative official in charge of a territory and reporting to the emperor), the Шаблон:Lang fulfilled the function of a protective lordship, generally commanding the military contingents of such areas (Шаблон:Lang). Beyond that, he administered the high justice instead of the count from the Шаблон:Lang court (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang).

In private and family monasteries (see proprietary church), the proprietor himself often also held the office of Шаблон:Lang, frequently retaining it after reform of the proprietorship (see also lay abbot).

The three-way struggle for control of the Шаблон:Lang of the more important abbacies, played out among the central monarchy, the Church and the territorial nobility,^[6] was well established as a prerogative of the nobility; the Hirsau formulary (1075) confirmed count Adalbert of Calw as hereditary advocate of the Abbey, an agreement so widely copied elsewhere in Germany that from the tenth century the office developed into an hereditary possession of the higher nobility, who frequently exploited it as a way of extending their power and territories, and in some cases took for themselves the estates and assets of the church bodies for whose protection they were supposedly responsible. In Austria, the teaching of the Church that, according to canon law individuals were prohibited from exercising authority over Church property, was only with reluctance accepted by the nobles. The rights of advocacy were bought back by the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century abbeys in alliance with the Babenberg and early Habsburg dukes; the abolition of the Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang) thereby exchanged local secular jurisdiction for the protective overlordship of the duke of Austria, sometimes by forging charters that the duke confirmed.^[7]

Imperial advocates

In Germany, the title of Vogt (Шаблон:Lang or "advocate") was given not only to the Шаблон:Lang of churches and abbeys but also, from early in the Middle Ages, to officials appointed by the Holy Roman Emperor to administer lands directly under his dominion, as opposed to the comital domains, owned by counts who had become hereditary princes of the Empire. The office or territory of a Шаблон:Lang was a Vogtei. Land administered by a Шаблон:Lang could also be known as a Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang), a name still used to refer to a region, the Vogtland, that adjoins the principalities of Reuss and adjacent portions of Saxony, Prussia and Bavaria. An imperial advocateship tended to become hereditary. Sometimes the emperor himself assumed the title of Шаблон:Lang in application to parts of his eminent domain.^[3]

In the German-ruled Holy Roman Empire, the term Шаблон:Lang can refer to two different offices: church Шаблон:Lang or imperial Шаблон:Lang. Imperial Шаблон:Lang are further subdivided into land Шаблон:Lang and city Шаблон:Lang. In addition, the term Шаблон:Lang was used for administrative officers of territorial rulers, such as reeves and bailiffs.

An imperial (Шаблон:Lang) was an officer of the king, who served as administrator and judge of a subdivision of royal property, or of a royal abbey. The seat of an imperial Reichsvogt was often at an imperial city. When the imperial cities gained more independence, the office was split into city Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang) for the cities and land Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang) for other areas. The offices of city Шаблон:Lang were usually bought by the imperial cities by the late Middle Ages, which led to the independence of the cities. Most land Шаблон:Lang offices became meaningless as the amount of royal property was reduced more and more in favor of territorial rulers (such as dukes and counts).

A Burgvogt was a castle administrator responsible for the general running of a castle and also for exercising judicial powers. The term is still sometimes encountered for someone who manages a castle.

The land Шаблон:Lang office of the Alsace, consisting of the ten imperial cities of the Шаблон:Lang, was ceded to the king of France in 1648, but the cities remained part of the Holy Roman Empire. However, the cities were soon thereafter annexed by France.

Several small land Шаблон:Lang continued to exist until the end of the Empire in 1806, mainly in the Swabian Circle.

In France

In France, the Шаблон:Lang, known as Шаблон:Lang, were of two types. The first included secular lords, who held the advocateship (Шаблон:Lang) of an abbey or abbeys, rather as an office than a fief, though they were indemnified for the protection they afforded by a domain and preach revenues granted by the abbey: thus the duke of Normandy was Шаблон:Lang of nearly all the abbeys in the duchy. The second class included the petty lords who held their advocateships as hereditary fiefs and often as their sole means of subsistence. An abbey's Шаблон:Lang, of this class, corresponded to a bishop's vidame. Their function was generally to represent the abbot in his capacity as feudal lord, act as his representative in the courts of his superior, exercise secular justice in the abbot's name in the abbatial court, and lead the retainers of the abbey to battle under the banner of the patron saint.^[3]

The Шаблон:Lang was also known as a Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang in the 10th and 11th centuries. Initially, only counts and dukes were appointed Шаблон:Lang, but by the end of the 11th century the title was being bestowed on mere castellans. The monks usually consulted their advocate before electing a new abbot, giving the advocate influence over the selection. When a nobleman founded or reformed a monastery, he usually became its advocate. In the 12th century, the office of the advocate was on the decline, a result of the Gregorian reforms. The Cistercian Order, for example, never allowed lay advocates.^[8]

In the Low Countries

Шаблон:See The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang) played a more important part in the feudal polity of the Empire and of the Low Countries than in France, where his functions, confined to the protection of the interests of religious houses, were superseded from the 13th century onwards by the growth of central power and the increasing efficiency of royal administration. They had, in effect, long ceased to be effective in their original purpose, and after the advowson became a fief, they took advantage of their position to pillage and suppress those they were supposed to defend. Medieval records are full of complaints from abbots about usurpations, exactions, and acts of violence committed by the Шаблон:Lang.^[3]

In the Netherlands (as well as in Germany) Шаблон:Lang were often appointed in the cities, by the overlord or by the emperor, to take the place of the bailiff (Dutch Шаблон:Lang, German Шаблон:Lang) or to stand alongside this official in matters of law.^[3]

In England

In England, the word Шаблон:Lang was never used to denote a hereditary representative of an abbot; but in some of the larger abbeys there were hereditary stewards whose functions and privileges were not dissimilar to those of the continental Шаблон:Lang. Instead, the word Шаблон:Lang, or more commonly avowee, was in constant use in England to denote the patron of an ecclesiastical benefice, whose sole right of any importance was a hereditary one of presenting a parson to the bishop for institution. In this way the hereditary right of presentation to a benefice came to be called in English an advowson (Шаблон:Lang-la).^[3]

Old Swiss Confederacy

Шаблон:Main The title of Шаблон:Lang appears in the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1415. A Шаблон:Lang ruled a Шаблон:Lang, either representing a sovereign canton, or acting on behalf of the Confederacy, or a subset thereof, administering a condominium (Шаблон:Lang) shared between several cantons. In the case of condominiums, the cantons took turns in appointing a Шаблон:Lang for a period of two years.

In exceptional cases, the population of the Шаблон:Lang was allowed to elect their own Шаблон:Lang. This concerned Шаблон:Lang in particular, which was nominally a subject territory of Bern, but enjoyed a special status as a military ally. The office of Шаблон:Lang was abolished in 1798, with the foundation of the Helvetic Republic.

Habsburg Netherlands

Шаблон:Main Although the title of Duke of Burgundy was extinguished by the French king after the annexation of its ancestral lands in 1477, the Habsburg kings of Spain and archdukes of Austria continued to use the title to refer to their realms in the Netherlands. The monarchs reigning in Madrid and Vienna controlled these through governors known variously as Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang.

Parallels in medieval England and France

The status of protective lordship, however, in relation to ecclesiastical estates as held, and notoriously abused, by the nobility in Germany throughout the Middle Ages, is without close parallel. There is no single equivalent in English history. The office of reeve was much the same at a village or peasant level, and in other contexts the roles of sheriff, bailiff, seneschal and castellan of course included similar elements. In France, the office of Шаблон:Lang, the temporal administrator for certain bishoprics, showed some connection. The most frequent translations in that connection are either advocate or lord protector.Шаблон:Citation needed

Шаблон:Main In medieval Poland, a Шаблон:Lang was a hereditary head of a town (under the overlordship of the town's owner – the king, church, or noble).

In modern Poland, a Шаблон:Lang is the elected head of a rural gmina, whereas heads of urban Шаблон:Lang are called burmistrz (burgomaster), or president.

Denmark

In Danish, the word Шаблон:Lang carries different connotations, all pertaining to guarding or keeping watch over something. In modern Danish law, the Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang court) administers the forcible enforcement and execution of judgments or other valid legal claims.

Finland

The local bailiff (distrainer) is called Шаблон:Lang, where Шаблон:Lang (hundred) is a local judicial district. Their duty is to enforce the financial judgements of the local courts. In practice, the Шаблон:Lang leads a team of assistant distrainers who process most distrainments/garnishments.

Netherlands

In modern Dutch, the word Шаблон:Lang is the primary word for the concept of legal guardian. In historic texts, Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang in the feminine form is used, particularly as the main title of Margaret of Parma.
