See also:ANNATES (See also:Lat. annatae, from annus, " See also:year ")
, also known as " first-fruits " (See also:Lat. primitiae), in the strictest sense of the word, the whole of the first See also:year's profits of a spiritual See also:benefice which, in all countries of the See also:Roman obedience, were formerly paid into the papal See also:treasury
.
This See also:custom was only of See also:gradual growth
.
The See also:jus deportuum, annalia or annatae, was originally the right of the See also:bishop to claim the first year's profits of the living from a newly inducted See also:incumbent, of which the first mention is found under See also:Pope See also:Honorius (d
.
1227), but which had its origin in a custom, dating from the 6th See also:century, by which those ordained to ecclesiastical offices paid a See also:fee or tax to the ordaining bishop
.
The earliest records show the annata to have been, sometimes a See also:privilege conceded to the bishop for a See also:term of years, sometimes a right based on immemorial precedent
.

- TIME, STANDARD
time the popes, under stress of See also:financial crises, claimed the privilege for themselves, though at first only temporarily
.
Thus, in 1305, See also:Clement V. claimed the first-fruits of all vacant benefices in See also:England. and in 1319 See also:John XXII. those of all Christendom vacated within the next two years
.
In those cases the rights of the bishops were frankly usurped by the See also:Holy See, now regarded as the ultimate source of the episcopal See also:jurisdiction; the more usual custom' was for the pope to claim the first-fruits only of those benefices of which he had reserved the patronage to himself
.
It was from these claims that the papal See also:annates, in the strict sense, in course of time See also:developed
.
These annates may be divided broadly into three classes, though the See also:chief features are See also:common to all: (I) the servitia communia or servitia Camerae Papae, i.e. the See also:payment into the papal treasury by every See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger. Ab
- ABBOT, EZRA (1819-1884)
- ABBOT, GEORGE (1603-1648)
- ABBOT, ROBERT (1588?–1662?)
- ABBOT, WILLIAM (1798-1843)
abbot and bishop, on his See also:induction, at one year's See also:revenue of his new benefice
.
The servitia communia are traceable to the oblatio paid to the pope when consecrating bishops as See also:metropolitan or See also:patriarch
.
When, in the See also:middle of the 13th century, the See also:consecration of bishops became established as the See also:sole right of the pope, the oblations of all bishops of the See also:West were received by him and, by the See also:close of the 14th century, these became fixed at one year's revenue.' A small additional payment, as a See also:kind of notarial fee,,,was added (servitia minuta)
.
(2) The jus deportuum, fructus medii temporis, or annalia, i.e. the annates due to the bishop, but in the See also:case of " reserved " benefices paid by him to the Holy See
.
(3) The quindennia, i.e. annates payable, under a See also:bull of See also:Paul II
.
(1469), by benefices attached to a See also:corporation, every fifteen years and not at every presentation
.
The See also:system of annates was ,at no time worked with See also:absolute uniformity and completeness throughout the various parts of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church owning obedience to the Holy See, and it was never willingly submitted to by the See also:clergy
.
Disagreements and disputes were continual, and the easy expedient of rewarding the officials of the See also:Curia and increasing the papal revenue by " re-serving " more and more benefices was met by repeated protests, such as that of the bishops and barons of England (the chief sufferers), headed by See also:Robert Grossetesteof See also:Lincoln, at the See also:council of See also:Lyons in 1245.2 The subject, indeed, frequently became one of See also:national See also:interest, on See also:account of the alarming amount of specie which was thus drained away, and hence numerous enactments exist in regard to it by the various national governments
.
In England the collection and payment of annates to the pope was prohibited in 1531 by See also:statute
.
At that time the sum amounted to about £3000 a year
.
In 1534 the annates were, along with the supremacy over the church in England, bestowed on the See also:crown; but in See also:February 1704 they were appropriated by See also:Queen See also:Anne to the assistance of the poorer clergy, and thus See also:form what has since been known as " Queen Anne's See also:Bounty " (q.v)
.
The amount to be paid was originally regulated by a valuation made under the direction of Pope See also:Innocent IV. by See also:Walter, bishop of See also:Norwich, in 1254, later by one instituted under See also:commission from See also:Nicholas III, in 1292, which in turn was superseded in 1535 by the valuation, made by commissioners appointed by See also:- HENRY

.
In See also:Germany it was decided by the See also:concordat of See also:Constance, in 1418, that bishoprics and abbacies should pay the servitia according to the valuation of the Roman See also:chancery in two See also:half-yearly instalments
.
Those reserved benefices only were to pay the annalia which were rated above twenty-four See also:gold florins; and as none were so rated, whatever their See also:annual value may have been, the annalia See also:fell into disuse

The council of See also:Basel (1431—1443) wished to abolish the servitia, but the concordat of See also:Vienna (1448) confirmed the Constance decision, which, in spite of the efforts of the See also:congress of See also:Ems (1786) to alter it, still remains nominally in force
.
As a See also:matter of fact, however, the revolution caused by the secularization of the ecclesiastical states in 1803 practically put an end to the system, and the servitia have either been commuted via gratiae to a moderate fixed sum under particular concordats, or are the subject of See also:separate negotiation with each bishop on his See also:appointment
