The magister tavarnicorum and the towns in the Hungarian Kingdom in the Angevin era

Journal Title: Mesto a dejiny - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

In the Angevin era, the magister tavarnicorum was first of all the highest office-bearer of financial administration, but he also had other functions. Firstly the magister tavarnicorum’s function as ‘ordinary judge’ actually meant that he was at this time regarded as the main court of appeal for cases heard in towns, or the judge of towns. This function began to accrue to the magister tavarnicorum in the second half of the thirteenth century but only became fully formed in the Angevin era. The magister tavarnicorum’s judicial powers were manifested in diverse matters and can be traced through charters of privilege granted to towns and documents recording his actions in specific cases.
