QUIERZY [KIERSY], CAPITULARY OF

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 749 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUIERZY [KIERSY], CAPITULARY OF , a
capitulary
  of the emperor Charles the Bald, comprising a
series
  of
measures
  for safeguarding the administration of his realm during his second Italian expedition, as well as directions for his son Louis the Stammerer, who was entrusted with the government during his father's absence. It was promulgated on the 14th of June 877 at Quierzy-sur-Oise in France (dep. of Aisne), the site of a Carolingian royal palatium, before a
great
  con-course of lords. In this document Charles takes elaborate precautions against Louis, whom he had every reason to
distrust. He forbids him to sojourn in certain palaces and in certain forests, and compels him to swear not to despoil his stepmother Richilde of her allodial lands and benefices. At the same time Charles refuses to allow Louis to nominate to the countships left vacant in the emperor's absence. In principle the honores (benefices) and the office of a deceased
count
  must be given to his son, who would be placed pro-visionally in possession by Louis; the definitive
investiture
 , however, could be conferred only by Charles. The
capitulary
  thus served as a guarantee to the aristocracy that the general usage would be followed in the existing circumstances, and also as a means of reassuring the
counts
  who had accompanied
the emperor into Italy as to the fate of their benefices. It cannot, however, be regarded as introducing a new principle, and the old
opinion
  that the capitulary of Quierzy was a legislative text establishing the hereditary system of fiefs has been proved to be untenable. A former capitulary of Charles the Bald was promulgated at Quierzy on the 14th of February 857, and aimed especially at the repression of brigandage.
