See also:CAPITULARY OF See also:QUIERZY [KIERSY]
, a See also:capitulary of the See also:emperor See also:Charles the Bald, comprising a See also:series of See also:measures for safeguarding the See also:administration of his See also:realm during his second See also:Italian expedition, as well as directions for his son See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis the Stammerer, who was entrusted with the See also:government during his See also:father's See also:absence
.
It was promulgated on the 14th of See also:June 877 at See also:Quierzy-sur-See also:Oise in See also:France (dep. of See also:Aisne), the site of a Carolingian royal palatium, before a See also:great See also:con-course of lords
.
In this document Charles takes elaborate precautions against Louis, whom he had every See also: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 See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time Charles refuses to allow Louis to nominate to the countships See also:left vacant in the emperor's absence
.
In principle the honores (benefices) and the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of a deceased See also:count must be given to his son, who would be placed See also:pro-visionally in See also:possession by Louis; the definitive See also:investiture, however, could be conferred only by Charles
.
The capitulary thus served as a See also:guarantee to the See also:aristocracy that the See also:general usage would be followed in the existing circumstances, and also as a means of reassuring the See also:counts who had accompanied
the emperor into See also:Italy as to the See also:fate of their benefices
.
It cannot, however, be regarded as introducing a new principle, and the old See also:opinion that the capitulary of Quierzy was a legislative See also:text establishing the hereditary See also:system of fiefs has been proved to be untenable
.
A former capitulary of Charles the Bald was promulgated at Quierzy on the 14th of See also:February 857, and aimed especially at the repression of See also:brigandage
